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.
