a 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders<\/a> on Thursday as part of a five-game road trip, didn\u2019t engineer a shot on Allen more than 10 minutes into the game and failed to convert on four power-play opportunities.<\/p>\nThe Ducks welcomed back goalie Luk\u00e1\u0161 Dost\u00e1l in his first game off injured reserve. The Czech netminder, who had missed nine games with an upper-body injury, finished with 18 saves.<\/p>\n
Coming into the game, Dost\u00e1l had an 11-5-1 record with a .904 save percentage.<\/p>\n
Troy Terry opened the scoring for the Ducks (19-12-1) with his 10th goal of the season and third in three games on a breakaway in the first period. Leo Carlsson assisted for his 40th point of the season.<\/p>\n
Stefan Noesen tied it up at 16:09 of the first period, then assisted with Juho Lammikko on Paul Cotter\u2019s goal \u2013 scoring in his third consecutive game \u2013 to give New Jersey a 2-1 lead at 5:52 of the second period.<\/p>\n
Cody Glass added to the lead at 17:04 of the second on a shot from the high slot.<\/p>\n
Allen stopped 13 shots in the final period. The Ducks pulled his counterpart with a little more than four minutes left, after which Allen denied Ducks rookie sensation Beckett Sennecke with a pad stop. Two minutes later, Connor Brown scored on an empty netter.<\/p>\n
The Devils were without leading goal scorer Timo Meier for the second game in a row due to a family health matter. Before the game, New Jersey coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, \u201cwe will give him (Meier) all the time he needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Ducks, who got off to an 11-3-1 start and have been 8-9 since, get a day off before wrapping up the road trip against the New York Rangers on Monday night and Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ducks were embarking on their third game in five days and it definitely showed Saturday.
