Danton Heinen and Brendan Guhle also scored for
the Ducks, who won consecutive games for the first time since
Feb. 1-4. Goaltender John Gibson made 28 saves.
Jason Zucker scored both goals and Marcus Pettersson assisted on
each for the Penguins, who suffered their season-high fifth
consecutive defeat, during which they've been outscored 19-8.
Matt Murray stopped 18 of 21 shots.
Heinen opened the scoring at 14:14 of the first period with his
first goal with the Ducks since being acquired at the trade
deadline Monday from Boston. Teammate Kiefer Sherwood controlled
the puck behind the Pittsburgh net before finding Heinen just
outside the top of the crease. Heinen's shot went off the
goalie's blocker and then deflected off the left leg of
defenseman Zach Trotman before entering the net.
The Penguins tied the score at 1-1 on Zucker's power-play goal
at 1:16 of the second. He deflected Pettersson's shot from the
blue line over Gibson's right shoulder and just inside the post.
Getzlaf gave the Ducks a 2-1 lead at 9:23 of the second. Sam
Steel's shot from the right faceoff circle went off of Murray's
right arm and then ricocheted off the left post and directly to
Getzlaf, who fired it into the open side of the net.
Guhle, who was recalled a day earlier from San Diego of the
American Hockey League, scored unassisted at 17:20 of the
second. He picked up a loose puck at the top of the faceoff
circles after a scramble in front and fired a shot that
deflected off Trotman's left knee and past Murray.
With an extra attacker on the ice, Zucker beat Gibson with a
slap shot from the left faceoff circle at 18:39 of the third to
cap the scoring.
