Tim Washe<\/a> scored, and Ville Husso<\/a> made 25 saves for the Ducks (4-6-0), who lost their fifth straight. Anaheim concludes a four-game road trip at the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Gritsyuk opened the scoring on a tip-in to make it 1-0 at 4:38 of the first period. Jack Hughes passed to Bratt at the right circle, who found Gritsyuk in front to finish the tic-tac-toe play by tucking the puck past the right skate of Husso.<\/p>\n

Gritsyuk, who signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract extension ($3.25 million annual average value) on July 3 with the Devils that begins next season, has five goals working on a line with Jack Hughes and\u00a0Bratt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nico Hischier<\/a> pushed it to 2-0 at 19:19 on the power play. Camped out in front of the crease, Hischier tapped in the rebound of Bratt’s shot from the right dot.<\/p>\n

Daws made eight saves in the second period. His best came at 9:43 when he denied an uncontested Beckett Sennecke<\/a>\u00a0on a wrist shot down the slot.<\/p>\n

Washe pulled the Ducks within 2-1 at 8:20 of the third period, scoring on a deflection from the slot. Defenseman Jackson LaCombe<\/a>\u00a0earned the primary assist with a slap shot from the left point.<\/p>\n

Anthony Mantha<\/a> scored on the rebound to make it 3-1 at 13:27. Husso thought he had covered the puck after Brett Pesce<\/a>‘s shot from outside the right circle, but Mantha was in front to poke it through.<\/p>\n

Jack Hughes scored an empty-net goal at 19:53 for the 4-1 final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Hughes\u00a0had a goal and an assist, Jesper Bratt had two assists and Nico Daws\u00a0made 16 saves for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":505268,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-505267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505267\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
