ANAHEIM, Calif. \u2014 Cutter Gauthier had his second career hat trick, scoring the go-ahead goal early in the third period, and the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the Ottawa Senators<\/a> 6-3 on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Judd Caulfield scored twice, rookie Roger McQueen added another and Leo Carlsson had three assists to help the Ducks win for the second time in nine games. Anaheim went 4 for 5 on the power play.<\/p>\n

Laurent Brossoit made 20 saves in his Anaheim debut. Brossoit played his second NHL game in three seasons after being recalled from San Diego of the AHL on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Claude Giroux had a goal and an assist as the Senators lost for the third time on a five-game trip. Thomas Chabot and Michael Amadio also scored first-period goals while Jonas Johansson made 27 saves.<\/p>\n

Senators’ head coach Travis Green pointed to special teams as the greatest issue his team faced. <\/p>\n

“Special teams played a big part in the game,” Green said post-game. “I liked a lot of our game. If you take the special teams out, I’d be really happy with the game.”<\/p>\n

Senators captain Thomas Chabot reiterated his coaches’ concerns. <\/p>\n

“I thought five-on-five was not bad to be honest. We started great,” Chabot said. “Not a good second. And then, I mean \u2014 special teams.”<\/p>\n

Ottawa went 0-for-3 on their power-play opportunities and allowed the Ducks to convert on four of their five chances with the man advantage. <\/p>\n

After the Ducks rallied to tie it at 3 in the second period, they took advantage of a two-man advantage at 1:50 of the third when Gauthier scored from a sharp angle past Johansson. While still on a man advantage, Gauthier scored 36 seconds later for a two-goal cushion.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes you start taking a few penalties, some of the guys don’t get to touch the ice for a while, and then you get the game back five-on-five, you create a little momentum, but it’s hard to kind of get back involved,” Chabot said.<\/p>\n

“But I mean that’s hockey. Obviously (a) very disappointing loss but we got to turn the page and make sure we’re ready for the next one.”<\/p>\n

Senators: At Buffalo on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
