Luneau Piles Up Points as Ducks Edge Flyers in a Shootout of Goals
The Anaheim defenceman finds the net and sets up two more as the Ducks snap a five-game skid on the road in Philadelphia.
Tristan Luneau had a three-point night for the Ducks, scoring a goal and adding two assists in a 5-4 win at Philadelphia. All of it came at even strength, and he finished plus 3.
His goal came at 2:00 of the third period, in regulation and at even strength. He put two shots on goal, blocked two shots and went without a penalty over 21 shifts.
He played 17:47, ninth among Anaheim's 18 skaters and fifth among the team's six defencemen, so this was not a night built on a big workload. His season average is 20.9 minutes, which means he played less than usual and still produced.
The production stands out against his season line. Going in, he had one goal and four assists in 11 games, so this one night nearly matched what he had managed before it. He now has two goals and six assists on the year.
For Anaheim, now 5-6-0, the win ended a losing stretch. Philadelphia falls to 3-7-3.
