Hronek's OT power-play goal caps the Canucks' 6-5 comeback win over the Ducks
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Filip Hronek scored a power-play goal with 11 seconds
to go in overtime to cap a run of four consecutive goals by the Vancouver
Canucks, who snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 6-5 comeback win over the
Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night.
The Canucks, who won for just the third time all season, trailed 5-2 after
Anaheim's A.J. Greer scored his second goal of the game with 7:37 to play in
regulation.
But Jamie Oleksiak pulled Vancouver within 5-3 just 31 seconds later.
Jonathan Lekkerimaki then scored twice less than a minute apart --- the second
with 1:57 left in regulation --- to send the game into overtime.
In addition to his winning goal, Hronek also had an assist. Liam Ohgren and
Brock Boeser also had goals for Vancouver, while Elias Pettersson added a pair
of assists. Leevi Merilainen made 18 saves.
The Ducks jumped to a 4-1 lead after two periods. Greer scored in the first
period, then Jeff Malott, Beckett Sennecke and Leo Carlsson added second-period
goals. Sennecke's came on the power play.
Jackson LaCombe had three assists for the Ducks and Lukas Dostal made 27 saves.
