Killorn scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 2-1 defeat to the Penguins.
After going pointless in his first five games, Killorn appears to be rediscovering his scoring touch with three points in his last five outings. Despite opening the scoring versus Pittsburgh, the veteran forward's tally wasn't enough to spur the Ducks on to victory. While Killorn's days of being a 60-point producer are likely behind him, he could still challenge for the 40-point threshold after coming up just four points shy of that mark last year.

Ducks' Alex Killorn: Provides assist in win
Rotowire
Killorn logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.
Killorn has earned both of his points this season on empty-netters -- he set up Frank Vatrano's goal into the empty cage to seal Tuesday's win. Killorn's slow start to the year has seen him drop to the third line, which may be a good spot for his reliable checking skills. He's at two points, 11 shots on net, nine hits, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating over nine outings. With the Ducks still trying to put pieces together on a young roster, Killorn could eventually move up the lineup again to help stabilize a younger forward's performance.
