The Ducks match the Stars’ desperation and take a lead into the third period, but Dallas gets goals from Roope Hintz and Jacob Peterson for a 3-2 victory.
ANAHEIM — Ducks coach Dallas Eakins expected to see a desperate team on Tuesday night.Clearly, the Ducks were fed up with a winless streak that had reached nine consecutive games, though. They matched the Stars’ desperation with each dash down the Honda Center ice, each punishing hit along the boards, each battle for a loose puck and each skillful play.
The Ducks’ winless streak torpedoed their flickering hopes of ending a three-season playoff drought. They had dropped to seventh place in the Pacific Division. The Stars were fifth in the Central Division, one point behind the Vegas Golden Knights for the second of two wild-card spots. John Gibson handled the rest, blanking the Stars in the second with some of his best work in quite some time. He had a steady workload, but the Stars couldn’t crack him after Terry put the Ducks ahead with his team-leading 31st goal. Grant and Trevor Zegras assisted on the goal.Dallas took a 1-0 lead when the Ducks left Radek Faksa uncovered on what turned out to be a two-on-one break with Luke Glendening.
Faksa’s goal was perhaps the Ducks’ lone defensive lapse of the opening period. There would be others in the second, but Gibson made up for all manner of mistakes. He denied Michael Raffl from close range with a glove save and stopped Joe Pavelski on another tough chance.
