Ducks Demolish Senators 6-3 in Anaheim Rout

The Anaheim Ducks turned Honda Center into a shooting gallery Tuesday night, dismantling the visiting Ottawa Senators 6-3 in a statement win that wasn't nearly as close as the final score suggests. The Ducks jumped out early and never looked back, building a commanding lead before the Senators managed some garbage-time respectability.

Anaheim's offense was firing on all cylinders, finding gaps in Ottawa's porous defensive structure and making goaltender life miserable. The Senators looked sluggish from puck drop, unable to match the Ducks' pace or intensity through the first two periods. By the time Ottawa finally showed signs of life, they were already staring at a multi-goal deficit that proved insurmountable.

Credit where it's due—the Ducks capitalized on their chances and played a complete sixty minutes. Meanwhile, the Senators continue their road woes, looking every bit like a team that packed their compete level in the luggage they forgot at the airport. Three goals sounds respectable until you realize two probably came when Anaheim was already coasting with a comfortable cushion.

The Stable didn't have action on this one, which in hindsight was the smartest play of the night. Ottawa's showing zero consistency away from home, and the Ducks made them pay for it.
