Ducks Extend Winning Streak to Four with 5-3 Victory Over Rangers
The Anaheim Ducks have finally found their footing, extending their winning streak to four games with a 5-3 victory over the New York Rangers on Monday night. The team’s recent success comes after a nine-game losing streak, and they seem to be gaining momentum. Alex Killorn’s goal in the second period broke the tie, and newcomer Jeffrey Viel scored his first goal of the season, helping the Ducks secure their win.
Key Players and Performances
Cutter Gauthier had a remarkable night, scoring twice, including an empty-net goal in the final minute, to bring his season total to 22 goals. Mason McTavish also contributed to the team’s victory with a goal, while Lukas Dostal made 19 saves to help the Ducks hold off the Rangers. The Rangers’ goals came from Matthew Robertson, Artemi Panarin, and Vladislav Gavrikov, with Spencer Martin stopping 21 shots in his fourth NHL game of the season.
Notably, Martin was back in goal after stopping 25 shots in a 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, which ended the Rangers’ five-game losing streak. Killorn’s goal, which gave the Ducks a 3-2 lead, was a result of a prolonged scramble behind the goal, showcasing the team’s determination and perseverance. Gauthier’s goal in the third period padded the lead, and although Gavrikov countered for the Rangers, the Ducks managed to maintain their advantage.
New Additions and Future Games
Viel’s first goal for the Ducks, which tied the game 2-2 in the second period, was a significant moment for the team. Acquired from the Boston Bruins on Friday, Viel has already made an impact, and his addition to the team is expected to bring more energy and depth to the roster. The Ducks will look to continue their winning streak as they face the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night.
