Jean-Sebastien Giguere, whose goaltending in 2003 brought him the Conn Smythe Trophy and in 2007 brought the Ducks their first Stanley Cup title, has an answer to what’s wrong this season.

“If this team wants to move forward, goaltending is going to have to be better,” said Giguere, who is 0-3-2 with a fat 3.38 goals-against average. “We’ll have to try to give the team a better chance to win every night.”

The Ducks begin a seven-game homestand tonight against Tampa Bay with many areas to correct. Through Tuesday’s games, the Ducks (6-10-3) ranked 28th in the NHL in goals given up and in penalty killing.

Neither Giguere nor fellow goaltender Jonas Hiller distinguished himself on the Ducks 0-3-1 trip. Giguere returned to the ice for the first time last week against Columbus since aggravating a groin injury Oct. 24, and finished with 27 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss. He then stopped 21 of 25 shots in the Ducks’ 5-2 loss Monday to Pittsburgh.
