Ducks end skid in 4-0 win

ANAHEIM — Rickard Rakell had a goal and an assist, Anthony Stolarz made 34 saves and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Ottawa Senators 4-0 on Friday.

Troy Terry had a power-play goal and Isac Lundestrom and Derek Grant also scored to help the Ducks end a three-game losing streak that followed an eight-game winning streak.

“We had a good stretch there where we’re playing well and getting results, and then went on the road and we didn’t play our best, and obviously we didn’t get the results we wanted either. So I think the focus coming home was to get back to what we were doing that made us successful. Worry about us and not the opponent, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that,” Grant said.

Stolarz got his fourth career shutout, and rookie center Trevor Zegras had two assists.

Anton Forsberg made 29 saves for the Senators. They have dropped four in a row and have only one victory in their past 11 games.

“There’s no lack of effort there today,” Ottawa coach D.J. Smith said. “They’re trying. They’re frustrated we’re not scoring, and when you’re losing you open it up a bit and you give up other chances.”

Rakell extended Anaheim’s lead to 4-0 at 9:05 of the third period, getting to the edge of the paint for the chip shot to finish off a clever passing sequence from Sonny Milano to Zegras to Rakell.

Rakell has two goals and two assists in a three-game points streak since returning from an upper-body injury that kept him out for 10 games.

Terry put the Ducks up 3-0 with 43 second left in the second, building up speed before cutting right and putting a backhand shot in between Forsberg’s legs. It was Terry’s fourth power-play goal and 13th overall, pacing the team in both categories.
