Steve Rucchin battled serious injuries, fought back and is now enjoying a productive season. With C Adam Oates returning, pressure for him to perform will be less. It was just a matter of time before he became healthy and able to play his game at the best of his ability, which we havn't had the chance to see for an extended period of time. Rucchin was the Ducks top centre 3 years ago centering all-stars Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne.
