Anaheim Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau continues to push all of the right buttons.
As the Ducks, fresh off of a critical Game 3 win earlier this week, look to claw back in their second round Stanley Cup playoff series against crosstown rival the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night, they're without forward Matt Beleskey - who has spent much of the postseason playing with Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf on Anaheim's first forward line.
In Beleskey's absence, Boudreau went off the board somewhat and promoted Devante Smith-Pelly, who is averaging fewer than 12 minutes a game this postseason, to Perry and Getzlaf's wing. Smith-Pelly's first line stint is off to a good start in Game 4, as the former Mississauga Majors standout flashed some instant chemistry with his new superstar line-mates in the first period of Game 4.
