Shawn Horcoff sparks Ducks with play and words

Shawn Horcoff, restored to the Ducks lineup after being scratched for the first two games of their playoff series against the Nashville Predators, made his presence felt Tuesday in many ways.

The 37-year-old center set up the first goal in the Ducks' 3-0 victory with a crisp pass to left wing Jamie McGinn, subduing a raucous crowd at Bridgestone Arena. He won seven of nine faceoffs, including four of five defensive-zone draws. And when he sensed his teammates needed a reminder about the importance of being composed, a concept they ignored in the first two games, Horcoff was the voice of reason.
