ANAHEIM — The Ducks’ flair for the dramatic had carried them to consecutive wins, but it was the Ottawa Senators who came up with a late goal to nudge past their hosts, 3-2, on Thursday night at Honda Center.

After tying Monday’s match with four seconds to play and winning Wednesday’s on a goal with 3:35 remaining, the Ducks nearly scored in the final minute again. Beckett Sennecke dropped to one knee to fire a puck that was sent wide by the edge of Linus Ullmark’s skate blade. Troy Terry also had a late chance, but his stick broke.

The Ducks lost for just the fourth time in their past 13 matches and just their second time in nine home games this season. The Senators had been off since Saturday, when they lost to the Kings, 1-0, to end a seven-game points streak.
