The Ducks have quacked their way to number one this week, while a small change at the bottom now means they’re singing the Blues in St. Louis. In other NHL news, Montreal’s GM Bob Gainey’s daughter is missing after a wave swept her off the deck of the ship she was on. Our thoughts are with the Gainey family in the hope that she turns up safe. Where did your team finish this week?
