Ducks lose again in cruelest of ways
Jarred Tinordi scored his second goal on a double deflection with 2:42 to play, improbably doubling his career NHL goal total in the Chicago Blackhawks’ 3-2 victory over the Ducks on Saturday.
Tinordi, a 30-year-old journeyman defenseman, scored only two goals in his first seven seasons before this trip to Honda Center. After scoring Chicago’s first goal in the first period, he collected a turnover late in the third and took a shot that glanced off Ducks forward Adam Henrique and then hit the skate of Dmitry Kulikov to beat Anthony Stolarz.
Filip Roos also scored his first NHL goal for the Blackhawks, who haven’t lost to the Ducks in eight meetings since Feb. 2, 2019. Patrick
Kane ended a three-game scoring drought with two assists, and Arvid Soderblom made 39 saves in his second career win and Chicago’s second in eight games.
Troy Terry and Henrique scored first-period goals for the Ducks, who lost their third straight despite dominating long stretches and outshooting the Blackhawks 41-22. Stolarz stopped 19 shots, but the Ducks still haven’t won in regulation at home this season.
