Anaheim Ducks fans embraced former player Trevor Zegras, now with the Philadelphia Flyers, with a standing ovation during his first game back in Anaheim since being traded over the summer. Zegras did not score in the Flyers' victory, but his teammate Owen Tippett netted his 23rd goal of the season to help Philadelphia secure the win.
Why it matters
Zegras was once considered a core piece of the Ducks' future, but injuries hampered his production in recent seasons. The trade to the Flyers has seemingly revitalized his career, as he is currently having his best statistical season since 2022-23. The warm reception from Ducks fans shows the respect and appreciation they still have for Zegras despite his departure.
The details
