Hutton scored 1:55 into the game when his shot through traffic was deflected through Dostal’s legs. Barzal had an assist on the play after returning to the roster following knee inflammation.

Horvat opened a four-goal second period for New York when he one-timed a slap shot from the slot that beat Dostal to the glove side. Nesterenko pulled a goal back for the Ducks just over one minute later.

Holmstrom scored the first of two consecutive goals at 3:01 of the second period and added the second at the 8:28 mark for a 4-1 lead. Chaffee’s goal for a 5-1 lead came two minutes later when he scored off a feed from Schaefer.
