Vermette, Perry help Ducks overpower Senators 5-1
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Veteran Antoine Vermette is managing to look every bit as fresh as his 21-year-old linemates.
Vermette and Corey Perry each had a goal and an assist, and the Anaheim Ducks scored a season-high three power play goals to beat the Ottawa Senators 5-1 on Sunday afternoon.
Joseph Cramarossa, Sami Vatanen and Vermette’s linemate Nick Ritchie also scored for the Ducks, and John Gibson made 21 saves.
“He’s a dominant center iceman with the puck and that’s a huge advantage,” Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said of Vermette, his third-line center.
