In a much-needed victory, the Anaheim Ducks snapped their four-game losing streak with a 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. John Gibson made a strong season debut with 38 saves, while Brett Leason and Jackson LaCombe each netted their first goals of the season.

Despite a late goal from Kirill Marchenko bringing the Blue Jackets within one, Isac Lundestrom sealed the win with an empty-net goal. The Ducks' solid defensive performance marked a significant turnaround after struggling defensively in recent games.
