Womens Charlie McAvoy Jersey , Ontario (AP) — Anders Nilsson helped Ottawa end a five-game skid without much of a scare at all.Nilsson stopped 45 shots for his first shutout of the season and the Senators beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-0 on Thursday night.“The shutout was a bonus,” Nilsson said. “It was great to get back to winning again. Think it was great for the whole team to snap this losing streak.”Matt Duchene led the way with two goals for the Senators. Brady Tkachuk and Mark Stone also scored.The Ducks continued to struggle. They’ve lost six straight and are 2-14-4 since Dec. 17. Thursday’s game was the fourth of a five-game trip that ends Saturday in Philadelphia.Randy Carlyle felt his team had a number of chances, but at the same time still failed to play well enough defensively. Anaheim outshot Ottawa 17-8 in the first period, but just couldn’t find a way to beat Nilsson.“There’s been no reward for any of the work that we’ve put in,” Carlyle said. “That’s the confidence issue. You’ve got to try and build your people up and stay focused on the simple things and try to provide them with two things that they can focus on and build on and there’s lots of positives in (Thursday’s) game, but the big negative is we lost.”John Gibson was pulled for the fourth straight game, this time for an apparent injury.
