For much of the 2015-16 season the lack of consistent secondary scoring has been one of the defining offensive issues.
Shea Theodore's third period power play goal, his first career tally, unleashed a torrent of scoring late as the Anaheim Ducks skated away from the Ottawa Senators 4-1 on Wednesday night at Honda Center.
The Ducks (18-17-7) held Ottawa to just seven shots on goal in the third period, getting goals from Theodore, Carl Hagelin and Jakob Silfverberg in the final five minutes of the game. Frederik Andersen had a 24-save performance in his first start since taking a hard luck shootout loss in Vancouver on January 1.
