It\u2019s certainly going to take a couple of games to really be myself and really trust myself again, but for a start, I thought it was OK,\u201d Draisaitl said, per NHL.com. \u201c(The Ducks are) skilled. We knew that. They can score, they\u2019re good off the rush, they can all skate. It\u2019s a good hockey team. Not much else to say. Two good teams going at it. We\u2019ll take it from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ingram made 25 saves in net for Edmonton.
