Ducks’ Eaves keeps up scoring touch

No slowdown for Patrick Eaves.

The Anaheim Ducks forward has maintained his career year since a February trade to Orange County.

After beginning the season with the Dallas Stars, Eaves excelled in his third year in Texas, putting up 21 goals and 16 assists through 59 games. But with the Stars sitting outside of the playoff picture, Eaves was shipped to Anaheim, where his production hasn't been lost in translation:

Team GP G G/GP Pts Pts/GP
Stars 59 21 0.36 37 0.63
Ducks 13 6 0.46 8 0.62

With the Ducks, Eaves has seen his goal ratio increase to 0.46 tallies per game, while his game production has remained virtually even.

The veteran winger has picked up four goals in his last four games, including two tallies Sunday versus the New York Rangers.

Not a bad bargain for a $1-million cap hit.
