Heading into the All-Star break the Ducks were rolling with four wins in a row including another close game against the Los Angeles Kings. So when the Ducks came out after the All-Star break you had to wonder how they would play. Sometimes a break can be a blessing and other times it can be a curse. Some teams use the time to rest and heal up.
