EDMONTON, Alberta – It took just under four minutes in the second period for the Anaheim Ducks’ seven-game win streak to unravel on Monday.

Edmonton got four consecutive goals from defensemen in 3:49 to tie, go ahead of and pull away from the Ducks for a deficit even a Mikael Granlund hat trick of power play goals could not undo in a 7-4 loss at Rogers Place.

Anaheim had tied a season-long seven-game win streak coming out of a nine-game losing skid, but the Ducks couldn’t get it all together on the back end of a road back-to-back and their third road game in four nights. Anaheim gets two nights off before closing the five-game road trip in Vancouver on Thursday.

Granlund scored power play goals in the first, second and third period to bring Anaheim back within one goal with just over six minutes remaining, but the Oilers hit a pair of empty netters to hold off the Ducks’ charge.

Alex Killorn also scored in the second period off a strong Ryan Poehling forecheck, and Ville Husso stopped 25 of 30 shots.

Anaheim (28-22-3, 59 points) could not leapfrog Edmonton (27-19-8, 62) for second place in the Pacific Division. The Ducks still hold a four-point lead over wild-card San Jose (26-21-3, 55 points), Los Angeles (21-16-13, 55 points) and Seattle (23-19-9, 55 points).

San Jose and Los Angeles hold three games in hand on the Ducks, with Seattle only playing two games fewer.

It was a momentous night in the triple-goal column on both sides of the ice on Monday.

For the Ducks, Finnish Olympian Mikael Granlund was just the third player in franchise history to notch three power play goals in a single game, matching fellow Finn Temmu Selanne in 2008 and Paul Kariya in 2001. It was Anaheim’s first three-goal game on the power play of the season and first multi-goal power play game since Jan. 6. The Ducks are 5-for-10 on the power play in the last four games after going 0-for-12 in the previous five games.

Paired with Beckett Sennecke’s own history hat trick on Sunday in Calgary, Granlund’s hat trick marked just the second time in Ducks history with hat tricks in consecutive games–Corey Perry and Saku Koivu in 2012–and the first time in franchise history it happened on consecutive days.

On the Oilers side, Mattias Ekholm notched a hat trick with the second empty-netter of the game, which added together with Evan Bouchard’s hat trick in the Oilers last game made for the first time in Edmonton’s history that defensemen recorded hat tricks in consecutive games.

Granlund and Eklund’s hat tricks were the third pair of dueling hat tricks in the NHL this season and the 26th and 27th hat tricks in the league in January, matching the NHL record for a single month.

It was a combination of neutral zone turnovers, aggressive Oilers blue-liners and some leaks in Ville Husso–all things that were absent from the Ducks’ turnaround win streak–that swung the game toward Edmonton in the second period.

With Anaheim leading 2-1, Spencer Stastney sent a shot that was going wide right of the Ducks crease off of Olen Zellweger’s skate and into the net to tie the game. It was an unfortunate bounce that opened up the floodgates.

Less than two minutes later, Edmonton rushed out of their zone with Ekholm charging up the center lane for an odd-numbered attack. Poehling couldn’t stop up the play on the boards, and in behind, a quick passing sequence from Connor McDavid to Zach Hyman found the streaking Ekholm for the deflection. Radko Gudas couldn’t tie up Ekholm, and the play happened so quick it seemingly surprised Husso, as this one squeaked through, 3-2.

Just over a minute later, Poehling lost his footing at the offensive blue line before and outlet pass reached him, and Darnell Nurse raced in to take the puck against the flow of traffic. Nurse snuck it short side on Husso from the left wing, 4-2.

Only 51 seconds later, Sennecke held up just inside the offensive blue line, and his back hand pass couldn’t find Jansen Harkins entering the zone. Once again, Ekholm leapt forward and broke in off a Matt Savoie pass to beat Husso far side from the left wing, 5-2.

Anaheim charged back with Granlund’s next two power play goals, but the deficit was too large to fully overcome.

Despite the nearly four-minute meltdown, Anaheim held the analytic edge in the game, per Natural Stat Trick. At five-on-five, the Ducks earned 62.75% of the expected goals and 59.09% of the high-danger chances.

Husso played his first game since Jan. 17 after a hot run by Lukas Dostal, who was named the NHL’s third star of the week (4-0-0, 2.18 goals against average, .925 save percentage last week). Husso allowed 2.19 goals above expected on Monday.

Anaheim gave up its 13th and 14th empty net goals of the season with an early pull of Husso for the extra attacker. The Ducks are tied with Buffalo for fifth-most empty net goals allowed in the league. The Rangers have allowed a league-high 18 with Florida at 16 and Nashville and Vancouver at 15.

Ryan Strome played just 4:42 of ice time on Monday, and assuming there was no injury, it would be the lowest ice time for any game this season for a Duck without injury or ejection. Strome took a high sticking penalty late in the first period and did not take a shift until 10 minutes into the second period. He took one more shift five minutes later but did not see the ice in the third period.

Between injuries and healthy scratches, it has been a tough season for the veteran.
