Ducks coach Randy Carlyle was philosophical about his team's performance on the trip. "Obviously, the sun is going to come up tomorrow - we hope," Carlyle said after the Ducks lost 5-1 on Monday to the St. Louis Blues. "What you have to do is take a self-analysis of what we can do better. There's lots of areas for us to improve in as a team." David Backes and Andy McDonald stunned the Ducks in just a few seconds. Backes and McDonald broke a 42-year-old franchise record by scoring 6 seconds apart early in the first period for the Blues. Backes scored at 3:53 when he sneaked down the left side after a Ducks turnover and fired in David Perron's centering pass. T.J. Oshie won the ensuing faceoff at center ice, got the puck back from Patrik Berglund in the high slot and fed it to McDonald near the left circle. McDonald beat Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller with a wrist shot at 3:59 to make it 2-0. The two goals in a 6-second span broke the previous club record of 7 seconds apart set by Don McKenney and Frank St. Marseille on Jan. 24, 1968, against the Minnesota North Stars.
