Ducks' offense starting to simmer as they visit Coyotes

The Anaheim Ducks hope their offense can take some pressure off goalie John Gibson when they visit the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night in Phoenix.

The Ducks finally tallied more than two goals in a game this season when Hampus Lindholm scored into an empty net to finish off the visiting Colorado Avalanche 3-1 on Sunday night.

Jakob Silfverberg and Rickard Rakell, two of the top goal scorers for the Ducks the past five seasons, notched their first goals of the season on Sunday and coach Dallas Eakins hopes that's the beginning of an offensive flourish.

"Anytime players like that can pick up a point, or score a goal, it's just a massive weight lifted off their shoulders," Eakins said.
