Former Penguins defenseman flourishing under Randy Carlyle
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Ryan Whitney played an instrumental role in the Ducks upsetting the San Jose Sharks 4 games to 2 in the first round of the playoffs After months of inconsistent play, Whitney had 4 assists in the series and was phenomenal on the breakout throughout the series. People I’ve talked to in Anaheim who cover the team on a regular basis tell me, Whitney is resembling the player he was in Pittsburgh during the 2006-2007 season when he recorded 59 points. He is flourishing under head coach Randy Carlye and appears to be in the right situation.
