ANAHEIM - The Senators blew a chance to both avenge their worst loss of the season and reclaim a playoff spot Wednesday night.
Needing a win to push them ahead of the Boston Bruins and into eighth place, Ottawa dropped a 4-1 decision to the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center — a game that was tied with five minutes to play.
Patrick Wiercioch was in the box serving a slashing penalty when Shea Theodore took a pass from Ryan Getzlaf and put a shot under Craig Anderson’s right arm for the winner and start a three-goal in 3:29 span for the Ducks.
