Courtesy of Beckett Sennecke’s heroics, the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> downed the Calgary Flames 4-3<\/a> in overtime to secure their seventh consecutive victory. The 19-year-old earned the first hat trick of his career, including the game-winner in extra time to improve the Ducks to 27-21-3.<\/p>\n

Trailing only Cutter Gauthier for the team lead in goals this season, the rookie added three more to his ledger on Sunday evening at the Scotiabank Saddledome, snapping a five-game scoreless streak in the process. Anaheim has now matched its highest winning streak of the season, matching a seven-game stretch back in November.<\/p>\n

It didn’t come easy, as the Flames grabbed early momentum with a pair of first-period scores from Jonathan Huberdeau and Hunter Brzusewicz. It was the first goal in the career of 21-year-old Brzusewicz, who put Calgary out in front 2-0 with a shot that deflected past Lukas Dostal and into the net.<\/p>\n

Sennecke found his groove in the second, using back-to-back scores to bring the Ducks even and silence the crowd in Calgary. His second came on a heads-up feed from Mikael Granlund, who picked up his 14th assist.<\/p>\n

Matt Coronato had the response early in the third as he took advantage of a Flames’ power play to help reclaim a 3-2 lead. Drew Helleson had been sent to the penalty box just minutes earlier after slashing Huberdeau.<\/p>\n

With some more impressive passing on display from the Ducks, Chris Kreider was able to score the equalizer with just under seven minutes remaining in regulation. Gauthier managed to rifle a feed down the ice to Ryan Poehling, who set Kreider up for the open look he needed.<\/p>\n

Both netminders stood pat through the remainder of the third as the contest headed to overtime. Sennecke’s dagger at the 2:54 mark of the period was Anaheim’s fourth score of the evening against Dustin Wolf and gave them the well-earned comeback victory.<\/p>\n

The Ducks, despite shorthandedness, continue to respond nicely from a nine-game losing streak. A chance to keep their streak rolling on Monday night awaits against the Oilers on the tail end of a road back-to-back.<\/p>\n

Edmonton, at 26-19-8, currently sits just one point above Anaheim in the standings. The match will mark the very first meeting between the division rivals this season.<\/p>\n
