Giguere injured in Ducks loss

Now you can add that to the list after Jean-Sebastien Giguere gave up a backbreaking soft goal by Columbus defenseman Fedor Tyutin with 3:22 remaining that decided the Blue Jackets’ 6-4 victory Saturday night at Honda Center.

Rick Nash’s empty-net goal only punctuated the disappointment felt after the last-place Ducks (3-5-1) got third-period goals by Joffrey Lupul and Teemu Selanne to tie the score. They have lost three in a row, four of five in all and dropped to 1-4 at home.

“When you go through stretches like we’re going through right now, it seems that when something has a chance to go wrong, it’s going wrong,” Coach Randy Carlyle said. “You have to just persevere.”

The loss could be magnified as Giguere, who had been dealing with a minor groin muscle strain, appeared to re-injure himself on the play and left the ice. Making his third start, Giguere stopped 30 shots but also let four get by in a disastrous second period.

Carlyle said he had not checked on Giguere before he met the media.
