Winning draws against a premier faceoff team in the National Hockey League - the Anaheim Ducks - is not an easy task. The Ducks were No. 1 in the circle during the regular season with a 54.7 faceoff percentage. In the post-season, Anaheim is second behind the eliminated Minnesota Wild with a 56 percent success rate.
Oilers centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins spoke about faceoffs after practice Tuesday.
