In the midst of battling for a loose puck in the neutral zone with Connor Zary, Zegras collided with a referee, leaving Zary to embark on a 2-on-1 opportunity that was thwarted by Ducks' goalie Lukas Dostal.
Clearly rattled by the collision, Zegras vented his frustration by smashing his stick against the boards upon returning to the bench, narrowly missing the Ducks' trainer with a broken piece of the stick.
This incident adds to a season marked by setbacks for the 23-year-old forward, who has been plagued by injuries, including an ankle issue that sidelined him for nearly ten weeks. In the limited 25 games he's played this season, Zegras has tallied nine points (four goals, five assists), accrued 30 penalty minutes, and holds a minus-four rating.
Amidst trade rumors swirling around him, Zegras remained with the Ducks after the March 8th deadline. However, speculation persists about potential moves during the draft or over the summer, as the Ducks seek to revitalize their roster and reverse their fortunes as swiftly as possible.
