This time, Andersen has a complete game

Ducks’ goalie holds the Panthers scoreless until late in third period, and Cogliano’s short-hander is the winner.

SUNRISE, Fla. — The Ducks showed confidence in their goalie and it paid off Thursday night.

Frederik Andersen stopped 23 shots, and Andrew Cogliano, Cam Fowler and Jakob Silfverberg scored to lift the Ducks over the Florida Panthers, 3-1.

Andersen was pulled from a 3-2 loss at Nashville on Tuesday night after giving up three goals on 10 shots. Andersen has given up 11 goals on 65 shots in his last three starts.

He held the Panthers scoreless until late in the third period.

“It’s important. He’s our No. 1 guy and we’ve got to make sure that he plays,” Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau said. “We wanted Freddy right back in there and he rewarded us.”

The Panthers had only 14 shots the first two periods.

“They didn’t have many big chances, but they had [some] and I had to be there to keep the momentum,” Andersen said.

Roberto Luongo stopped 38 shots for the Panthers.

“He [Luongo] kept us in the game as long as he could,” Florida Coach Gerard Gallant said. “It’s about putting pucks to net and we refused to do that. We were passing up shots to make fancy passes and they never work; they didn’t work tonight.”

Cogliano’s short-handed goal gave the Ducks a 2-0 lead with 5:19 left in the third period. Nick Bjugstad lost the puck near the blue line and Shawn Horcoff skated toward the net and passed to Cogliano, who beat Luongo.

“I was lucky to get a goal and it was the game-winner,” Cogliano said.

Aleksander Barkov made the score 2-1 less than two minutes later, when his shot from the point hit Andersen’s pads and trickled into the net.

Silfverberg added an empty-net goal, his first goal of the season, with 1:08 left to make th score 3-1.

“We put in a full 60 [minutes] and won the game,” Silfverberg said. “That’s obviously huge.”

The Ducks took a 1-0 lead on a powerplay goal by Fowler with 3:21 left in the second. Fowler shot from the left of the crease and the puck went under Luongo’s pads. The goal was the first given up by Luongo in 74 shots going back to 5-4 shootout win at Tampa Bay on Saturday and including a 39-shot shutout of the Lightning last Monday night.

Luongo took a puck to the right side of his face 22 seconds into the second period. A shot by Clayton Stoner hit off Luongo’s mask and he fell to the ice but continued play after several minutes.

The Ducks missed a short-handed scoring chance at 8:12 of the second when Silfverberg shot from the point, but Luongo robbed him with a glove save.

“We’re trending in the right direction,” Fowler said. “We came here, played a solid 60 minutes and got a good win against a good team.”
