Perhaps his goal Tuesday (Nov. 15) – his first with the Ducks – can kick start his season, as Klingberg’s tally in the final minute of the third period against the Detroit Red Wings tied the game and salvaged a point for the Ducks. They eventually won in overtime after Tyler Bertuzzi’s errant pass bounced off Trevor Zegras and Ryan Strome converted.
