Andersen records 1st win, Ducks snap 5-game losing streak
Frederik Andersen received some much-needed goal support as the Anaheim Ducks snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Sunday.
It took eight starts, but Anderson finally recorded his first win of the season with an impressive 40-save performance. The 26-year-old has been solid all season long despite a disappointing 1-5-2 record.
The Ducks came out absolutely flying for their goaltender, jumping out to a 3-0 lead with three first-period goals from Rickard Rakell, Sami Vatanen, and Andrew Cogliano. Chris Stewart put the game away in the second period with his first goal of the season.
The Ducks will look to start their first winning streak of the season when they face the Florida Panthers on Wednesday.
