NHL Highlights | Ducks vs. Lightning | October 25, 2025

He is out there. Also in the starting lineup 
is Zus Gurgensson’s. His first game this season after getting injured in the preseason. Good 
for check wide open tap across going to the back and shovel in there. Saved by DTO on 
a great chance in tight for Cooerov. Yeah, he’s been defenseman of the year in 
Sweden in the East Coast League and CHL defenseman of the year too. That’s 
junior hockey. Here’s Gensel. Puts it in for Lup scores. Jake Gensel tucks it home 
and the Lightning grab the lead one- nothing. Playing with the lead in the National Hockey 
League is always important for the Lightning now the way things have been going for them. 
And it’s been Gensel who’s been most effective putting puck in the net and getting to the 
net. That’s the epitome of Jake Gensel. He’s intelligent. He knows what to do. He knows 
where to go. And when you do those things, you’re going to get some freebies. That was a freebie. 
Puck pingponged around a little bit and he ends up in the right spot. Rebound picked up by Cout. 
And now Anaheim with McTavish out of the box. He’s in. Stopped by Johansson. That’s a big save 
as McTavish stepped right into the box. Nikita Cout Lightning showing a lot of different looks. 
Cutrop over on the left side. He does the spinound attempt to dump it in as you just saw, but he 
didn’t realize he didn’t have any time and room. And with the turnover, everybody got stopped. 
Looking for their second win of the season. Oh, that one caught the outside of the post and that 
quick release from Netoeno. Anaheim Ducks have flank the puck off the bar. Bad angle. You can 
hear it. Nessenko this time with a change of direction I think just by a second but Johansson 
has been really good. He had defending him. Senica spins past the check gets it inside the lighting 
line but the Bolts take over from there. Lead pass up the ice put in stopped by dol pass and 
chance see that. And then on the regroup here, the quick play from Gensel to uh Braden Point 
knifing his way, busting through the defense there. Doesn’t have a lot of room at Kangelo all 
the way around the outside. Gets it to Truma. Truma winds and fires and fires it wide now out of 
the slot. Big shot there by Zelwinger. And a great save the slot off the end wall there. And there’s 
a little backhand pass and a big time shot there. Zel Ryan Mcdana’s last game was his best because 
he was really skating in all directions off the draw. Trouba with a shot scores a clean faceoff 
win by Anaheim and Jacob Trouba puts it home to make it 1-1. Trouba’s got a heck of a shot. You 
don’t see it much. He’s a defensiveminded guy. And what do you do? Do you try to block or do 
you try to rush out at a guy? Well, it’s really well played there. Excellent construction 
of the play there for for Anaheim right off the face off because when they win it clean, 
it’s Troy Terry again. And Troy Terry attracts Gensel. Gensel would have been the guy going 
out to the point to go after Tom. He just said, “Nope, I’m not going to play for it.” Now here’s 
Hegel. Hegel in front for James and it’s stopped by no stall. What a chance. Gets himself in a good 
spot. He realizes there’s room to the front. This is a mini twoon one. It’s a tough one because he 
only gets one swipe at it and because Hegel’s on his backand does a good job of scooping it over 
the defender who’s going down at the time. That’s more he goes points trying to dance away. Puck is 
picked up and pulled out of there by Death Stew to point to the back and in but scores. 21 
Lightning and that is 1,000 points for Nikita Coach Rob Kensel’s going to get this goal and 
he did it with his feet on the regroup here. A quick up to catch a couple of Anaheim 
Ducks. The pass across right here. Watch how the puck goes in. See it goes in off the 
feet of Gensel, but Cucherov starts the play. Right side to left side, back to the right 
side. And there’s Gensel putting it in. Just redirecting. Here’s Gensel. Puts it back 
to line across to Heaven. He drifts one in there. Deflected on the way through. The stall 
sticks with that. Here’s Heman with a blast. It goes wide. Across to the captain again. Victor 
Henman in front. Scores. Anthony Serelli taps it in. And on this play, Victor Hedman is 
going to pick up career point number 800. Ellison back there. Nice outlet. Look out. Here’s 
a twoon one. Short-handed for Anaheim. It’s Terry and shoots in. Johansson makes a big save. Nice 
save by Johansson. Good hard work by Hegel coming back. He’s going to put pressure here on Terry. 
Terry looked over his shoulder and goes, “Oh, not that guy. I don’t want him.” Victor Hedman 
did the right thing. He was a lone guy back. He’s watching for the cross ice pass. Terry’s 
in good position. Why wouldn’t you shoot from there anyway? And again, another milestone that 
was reached. Good strip by point. Got it deep. Goes to the front of the net and a great save 
by Dol takes one away from Braden Point. He was covered pretty closely. How about that? 
Nice pass there from Gensel. Comes up short and it saves a twogoal lead. Just under 13 
minutes to go in regulation. Bouncing puck. Ross Johnson in front. They score. Ryan Paling 
taps it home the fourth line. Gets one back for Anaheim and makes it a one-goal game. A chopped 
up play in the deep slot in the lightning zone. And Churnack’s not sure whether he has to 
go after the puck carrier. Johnson ends up caught in between. Watch as this puck comes 
into the zone. See Chernaki changes his mind, but then he doesn’t look over his left shoulder 
in the blind spot. Churnack again here. I think I have to pursue the puck. No. Stays in the middle, 
but there’s the blind spot guy coming through. And it’s pale. And those are quick jam. They have 
just one win so far this season. Nothing on home ice yet. They’ve got just under 12 minutes to try 
to close this one out against Anaheim. Here’s Goa. His shot saved by Johansson. Centering attempt 
and Terry and he scores and it’s a tie game. Shoot and retrieve and they came 
in shooting mode. The initial shot by Goce. Well defended by Johansson, but the 
Lightning have multiple guys to worry about. Coming back to the front of the net. It’s 
a loose puck. It’s who can get to it first. And it’s Troy Terry again. Terry’s out of 
here’s Moser. Back across to Gorgensson. He’s open. Gurgensson’s in and he fired it 
wide. What a chance for Simus Gurgensson’s at the top. Puts it down in the corner 
slowly in the middle. Scores Anthony Celli and there it is. Power play goal 
and the Lightning retake the lead. the mirror image of what we normally 
see on the number one power play wing side and it’s Cellio gets in the bumper 
spot. Coojov on the left wing side puts it on the tape. It has to be on the 
tape. Threads it right through some skates right onto the stick. Time flips 
it out. 3 seconds to go up the ice. Time for one last shot. And one more save by Yonas 
Johansson. And the Lightning win it 43 final.
