During Zegras’ first day at training camp on Tuesday, Cronin sent an early immediate message — he expects significant improvement to Zegras’ defense.

Once Oregon's offense got started, the Ducks couldn't be stopped. Bo Nix threw touchdown passes on the first four drives of the second half and No. 9 Oregon shook off a shaky start by scoring TDs on six of seven possessions to beat Stanford 42-6 on Saturday. “We started off a little slow, but we kicked it into gear,” coach Dan Lanning said.

New Anaheim Ducks forward Alex Killorn will be sidelined for four to six weeks with a broken finger, the team announced Saturday. Killorn was injured Wednesday night in an exhibition game against San Jose. The 34-year-old Killorn won two Stanley Cup championships and scored 198 goals with Tampa Bay.
