The Ducks aren’t out of the woods. Not even close. But their slow-drip uptick continued with a 4-2 win against Nashville on Sunday.
They didn’t blow a lead and they got the first win of the season for goalie Frederik Andersen, who had been 0-5-2 with a 2.05 goals-against average and .932 save percentage.

Corey Perry and Ryan Kesler still have zeros next to their name in the goal column after 11 games.
