Henrique gets 1st 2 Ducks goals, Miller blanks Sens 3-0
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Until the Anaheim Ducks get back to full strength, they’re counting on Adam Henrique to play a major role for his injury-plagued new team.
Henrique has been quite capable of shouldering that burden so far, and now he finally has a victory and a goal or two to show for his efforts.
Henrique scored his first two goals for the Ducks in his home debut, and Ryan Miller made 29 saves for his first shutout for Anaheim in a 3-0 victory over the slumping Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night.
Ondrej Kase also scored, and Henrique added an empty-netter to his second-period opening goal in the Ducks’ first victory since they acquired Henrique in a trade with New Jersey a week ago. The veteran has a point in all four games for his new team while centring the top line for the Ducks, who have played most of the season without centres Ryan Getzlaf and Ryan Kesler while dealing with major injuries for several supporting players.
