The Anaheim Ducks secured a 2-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks in their season opener, with Isac Lundestrom scoring the first goal in the third period and Trevor Zegras adding an empty-net goal. Goalie Lukas Dostal recorded a shutout, making 30 saves in his second NHL shutout and first season-opening start. The Sharks, missing rookie Macklin Celebrini due to an injury, had a goal disallowed after a coach's challenge for offside, setting a tone of missed opportunities. Vitek Vanecek stopped 28 shots for San Jose, but the Ducks outshot their opponents overall. This victory marked Anaheim's first season-opening shutout on the road in franchise history. The Ducks will next face the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday night.
