Leo Carlsson shines as Ducks end losing streak with shootout win over Avalanche
LA TimesDucks rookie center Leo Carlsson celebrates after scoring in the second period of a comeback win over the Colorado Avalanche at Honda Center on Saturday night. Rookie Leo Carlsson had a goal and an assist and scored the shootout winner in the Ducks’ 4-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night at Honda Center. “Tonight we stayed with it and we were rewarded with a win.” Carlsson, the second overall pick in June’s draft, skated in and deked Colorado goalie Ivan Prosvetov to have a clear shot at the net for the only goal in the shootout round. The Ducks cut it to 2-1 when Henrique tipped in Ryan Strome’s pass on the power play, but Colorado took a two-goal lead into the first intermission when Toews wired a snap shot past Gibson’s glove and into the far side of the net with 43 seconds remaining.
