Derek Grant scored short-handed in his first
game back from injury, Adam Henrique also scored, and Ryan
Getzlaf and Cam Fowler each had two assists for the Ducks.
Anaheim's only other win since Dec. 27 came in a 5-4 shootout
victory against the visiting Predators on Jan. 5.
John Gibson made 33 saves for Anaheim.
Viktor Arvidsson and Mikael Granlund scored, and Juuse Saros
made 23 saves for Nashville, which missed a chance to win three
in a row for the first time since late October.
Manson gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead with his first goal of the
season at 10:01 of the first period.
Following a faceoff win by the Ducks in the Nashville zone,
Ondrej Kase slid a pass from the left circle to Manson coming
through the inside edge of the right circle. Manson then scored
on a one-timer.
Henrique made it 2-0 with a power-play goal at 12:22 of the
first period. Rakell took a one-timer from the right circle, and
the puck settled between Saros' skates. Henrique spotted the
loose puck and swept it across the goal line for his 15th goal
of the season.
Nashville made it 2-1 after winning a faceoff in the Anaheim
zone. Roman Josi took a slap shot from just inside the blue
line, and Arvidsson deflected it past Gibson at 13:56 of the
opening period.
The Ducks reestablished the two-goal lead when Rakell scored off
a rebound at 9:52 of the second period to make it 3-1.
Grant, who missed the previous 12 games with a shoulder injury,
scored during a Nashville power play to make it 4-1 at 8:03 of
the third period.
Granlund also scored short-handed at 15:22 to make it 4-2.
