Kent Johnson added two assists, and goaltender Jet Greaves made 24 saves for his first win since November 20.

For the Ducks, Mikael Granlund had a goal and an assist, Ryan Strome and Jackson LaCombe also scored, and Ryan Poehling recorded two assists. Anaheim goaltender Ville Husso stopped 24 shots as the Ducks finished their five-game road trip with a 2-2-1 record, including a 4-1 win over the New York Rangers the night before.

Columbus struck first at 8:21 of the opening period when Werenski buried a wrist shot from the left circle off a feed from Jenner, extending his home point streak to 11 games. The first period remained scoreless...
