Ducks trying to solve puzzling problem costing them precious points

The Ducks are leaving precious points on the ice, and right now, they have no answers.

Nine of the club’s 30 contests have ended in a stalemate after 60 minutes, and they’ve yet to find the back of the net during overtime.

The Ducks are 0-3 in games that ended during the three-on-three extra period, including Friday’s overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild. The other six times, the Ducks were forced to engage in a shootout, and the results haven’t been pretty there, either.

They’ve won just two of their six skill competitions, meaning they’ve picked up two of a possible nine points when a game wasn’t decided in regulation; precious points that could come back to haunt them in a tight Western Conference playoff race.
