Sam Colangelo, Frank Vatrano and Alex Killorn had goals for the Ducks. Lukas Dostal stopped 18 shots.

Fowler played 991 games with the Ducks from 2010 to 2024. He ranks first in Ducks history among defenseman in goals (96), assists (361) and points (457).

“It was incredible,” Fowler said about his first game back in Anaheim. “I just tried to take a seat on the bench and soak it all in. I’m just grateful. I put my heart and soul into my career here, and the support from the fans and the team along the way means a lot to me, so I’m thankful to everyone in the organization for making it a nice welcome home for me.”
