LaCombe Logs the Night's Longest Shift Sheet in Ducks' Win
The Anaheim defenceman set up three goals and blocked five shots as the Ducks beat Pittsburgh 5-2 on the second night of the Penguins' back-to-back.
Jackson LaCombe played more than anyone on the ice for Anaheim, and he left with three assists in a 5-2 win over Pittsburgh. His 30:55 was the most among the Ducks' 18 skaters and the most among their six defencemen, spread over 27 shifts.
The points came in three different situations: one at even strength, one on the power play and one into an empty net. He was plus 3 and took no penalties. He also blocked five shots, added two hits and put one shot on goal. Two giveaways were the only blemish.
For the season, LaCombe has 1 goal and 21 assists in 18 games, and he averages 27.4 minutes. So the workload was above his norm, and three points in one night is a good return on it. The Ducks have now won four straight and sit 9-7-1, while Pittsburgh falls to 6-9-2.
