Ducks center Rickard Rakell returned to the lineup after sitting out for three games because of an upper-body injury. When he returned, he had new linemates during the Ducks’ 4-3 overtime loss Wednesday to the Edmonton Oilers. Rakell played left wing and joined center Ryan Getzlaf and right wing Corey Perry for the first time to form a very effective line. Perry scored two goals Rakell assisted on each.

“I felt pretty good,” Rakell said. “I felt really comfortable from the start. I was excited to play with ‘Getzy’ and ‘Pears.’ I thought the first period we had some good scoring chances. We could have easily had a few more. I had never played with them before. I was just excited, just not trying to change anything from what I do out there, just trying to be open and create chances.”
