What we learned from the Ducks' 3-2 shootout loss to San Jose

The Ducks were headed for an important victory over San Jose, one that would have vaulted them past the Kings in the Pacific Division as the playoff race tightens. Instead, the Ducks blew a 2-0 lead Sunday, with the last goal coming with under one minute left, and then they lost in the shootout. Here's what we learned:

Andrew Cogliano could have padded the lead on at least three different occasions. The diminutive winger somehow missed an empty net at the midway point of the first period. Josh Manson's point blast caromed off the boards, and Cogliano was there to collect it, but the shot from in close was errant.
