from Eric Stephens of the OC Register,

New players were inserted in. Forward lines and defense combinations were changed. New uniforms featuring a familiar logo made their way into the spotlight. And the Ducks still can’t score.

This reconstituted group continues have all sorts of issues getting the puck past the goal line. The winless Ducks remained so Friday night as the Colorado Avalanche took advantage of their struggles, picking up a 3-0 victory at Honda Center.

The Ducks (0-3-1) have scored one goal in 245 minutes of regulation and overtime play. The one goal came from defenseman Sami Vatanen at 1:56 of the second period in Monday’s home opener against Vancouver. Their scoreless streak now sits at 163 minutes, 4 seconds.

“It’s something we really haven’t gone through, at least since I’ve been here,” winger Corey Perry said. “It’s tough. We did a lot of good things, but it’s those second opportunities. You have to give credit to them. They blocked a lot of shots.

“It’s going to break and when it does, it’s going to feel good.”
