‘Second unit is all the same page,’ coach Dallas Eakins says; the first unit has just two power-play goals, both by rookie Mason McTavish, in the past 19 games
| UPDATED:ANAHEIM — One of the Ducks’ power-play units is having a certain measure of success of late with goals in back-to-back games and three in the past five games.Left wing Frank Vatrano, the team’s leader in shots, has two of them and veteran defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk has the other, via the second unit.. “We’ve just prided ourselves in keeping things simple. Even tonight, Max comes in, fits in well. We didn’t try to do anything too fancy. And I think that’s what has worked for us.
It’s been working because the second-unit is “all on the same page,” according to Ducks coach Dallas Eakins, who added: “The power plays in this league don’t have to be complicated. You don’t have to be overly skilled. But they’re doing a lot of things right out there.”
