The current Ducks’ Fathers Trip brought back an unforgettable family experience involving Ryan Strome and his mother Trish.
Strome’s father Chris is on this trip, which started on Friday and will continue through Sunday in Las Vegas when the Ducks face the Golden Knights. “I think he’s been on at least five or six trips, so he’s done well,” Strome said.
But Ryan chuckled as he went down memory lane Friday after the Ducks’ morning skate, recalling the Moms Trip two years ago. Strome was playing for the New York Rangers and Trish Strome read the starting lineup in the dressing room before their game against the Chicago Blackhawks, and she delivered the goods in memorable fashion.
“They didn’t tell me and I almost had a heart attack,” Ryan Strome said. “She was, ‘Oh, like my baby’s at center, and she kisses me. I was dying.
“I aged about five years in 35 seconds.”
“Panarin. Move him the puck. MOVE. HIM. THE PUCK.”

Eriksson is 1-9-0 with the Gulls, with a 4.79 goals-against average and a .851 save percentage.
Ordinarily, goaltender Lukas Dostal would have been the obvious recall but Dostal was…
