Overview
- The Ducks rallied from a 3-0 first-period deficit to beat the Ottawa Senators 6-3 on Sunday night, with Cutter Gauthier scoring a hat trick that included two power-play goals.
- Anaheim scored six unanswered goals and converted four of five power-play chances, a sudden special-teams outburst that flipped the game after a poor opening period.
- Laurent Brossoit, recalled from AHL San Diego, made his Anaheim debut in goal and stopped 20 shots as the starter who stabilized the crease during the rally.
- Ottawa built its 3-0 lead on goals by Philip Tomasino, Claude Giroux and Michael Amadio but lost momentum late on the final night of a California road trip and saw Dylan Cozens ejected after a review for a hit on A.J. Greer.
- The victory halts a recent Anaheim slide that included seven losses in eight games and hands the Ducks a confidence boost before a three-game trip to Western Canada while the Senators head east to Buffalo.
