The Ducks are having a season to forget with their offense letting them down, scoring only 2.50 goals per game with only four goals in the last two games. Frank Vatrano, Mason McTavish, and Troy Terry have scored 43 goals and 41 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only five skaters have seven goals or more and opponents can eliminate the hapless offense as a result.
