Ducks roll past Senators to end slide

Cam Fowler and Frank Vatrano each had a goal and two assists for the visiting Anaheim Ducks in a 5-1 win against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night.

Mason McTavish scored two goals and Pavel Mintyukov also scored for the Ducks, who had lost two in a row by a combined score of 10-3.

Anaheim goalie John Gibson stopped all 15 shots he faced before leaving after the second period with an upper-body injury.

Lukas Dostal relieved him and stopped 18 of 19 shots in the third period.

Claude Giroux scored and Joonas Korpisalo made 15 saves for the Senators, who had their season-long four-game winning streak snapped.

Mintyukov gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead at 9:19 of the first period.

Leo Carlsson made a backhand pass to Troy Terry as they entered the Ottawa zone and he took a wrist shot from the left circle. Korpisalo made a right pad save, but Mintyukov skated in and shot the rebound between his pads.

The Ducks were on their first power play when Ryan Strome passed the puck to Fowler and he made a quick feed to Vatrano, who scored his team-leading 23rd goal of the season on a one-timer from the right circle for a 2-0 lead at 17:25.

MacTavish made it 3-0 at 18:59.

Korpisalo tried to clear the puck to Ridly Greig along the wall, but he had trouble handling the puck before a hit from Vatrano sprung it free. Jakob Silfverberg made a short pass to McTavish as he skated into the right circle and he scored with a wrist shot.

McTavish scored again at 2:18 of the third period off a backhand feed from Terry to extend the lead to 4-0, but Anaheim turned the puck over in the neutral zone shortly afterward and Giroux scored at the end of a two-on-one rush to cut the deficit to 4-1 at 4:43.

Fowler re-established the four-goal lead when he scored on a power play to make it 5-1 at 9:23.
