Overview
- Cutter Gauthier scored a hat trick and delivered the go-ahead goal early in the third period as the Ducks rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Ottawa Senators 6-3 on Sunday night.
- Veteran Laurent Brossoit, recalled from San Diego of the AHL, made his Anaheim debut and stopped 20 shots in a start intended to address recent goaltending instability.
- Anaheim converted four of five power-play chances in the game and received two goals from Judd Caulfield plus three assists from Leo Carlsson to fuel the comeback.
- The win halts a deep slide in which the Ducks lost seven of eight and surrendered 37 goals during that stretch, with a team goals-against average near 3.85 and starters Lukas Dostal and Ville Husso posting sub-.880 save percentages.
- What to watch next: Anaheim travels to Vancouver on Tuesday and will need clearer defensive play and consistent goaltending to turn a single comeback into sustained recovery.
