Chris Kreider<\/a> got the tying goal with 42 seconds left in regulation and Alex Killorn<\/a> scored in the sixth round of the shootout, sending the Ducks to a 6-5 victory<\/a> over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Kreider matched his career best with a four-point night for the Ducks, who won for the seventh time in eight games despite blowing a two-goal lead in the third period. Cutter Gauthier<\/a>, who also scored in the shootout, and Leo Carlsson<\/a> had a goal and an assist apiece.<\/p>\n

The Ducks improved to 8-0 in shootouts this season despite going just two for six against Montreal, with even Mason McTavish<\/a> failing to score for the first time in six tries this season.<\/p>\n

Radko Gudas and Jackson LaCombe also scored, and Lukas Dostal stopped 23 shots in a rough performance before he came up big in the shootout. The Ducks earned their 19th comeback victory, matching Montreal for the NHL lead.<\/p>\n

Cole Caufield scored two of Montreal\u2019s three goals in the third period and Lane Hutson had a goal and two assists. Samuel Montembeault made 28 saves for the Habs, who have lost four of six.<\/p>\n

Gauthier got his 32nd goal just 33 seconds after the opening faceoff, giving him seven goals in five games since the Olympic break.<\/p>\n

Nick Suzuki answered moments later, securing the fifth consecutive 20-goal season for Montreal\u2019s captain.<\/p>\n

After Gudas got his first goal since Nov. 19, Carlsson added his 21st goal early in the third off a two-on-one pass from Kreider.<\/p>\n

But Caufield got his 36th and 37th goals of the season with Alexandre Carrier\u2019s tying goal with 8:13 left in regulation sandwiched between them.<\/p>\n

With the Ducks in desperation mode, Kreider skillfully redirected Jacob Trouba\u2019s shot from the point for the 21st goal of his first season with Anaheim.<\/p>\n

Olen Zellweger committed a tripping penalty in overtime, but Anaheim killed the four-on-three disadvantage.<\/p>\n

The Ducks played without new defenseman John Carlson, who flew to the West Coast on Friday after a late-night trade ended his 17 seasons with Washington. Montreal stayed pat at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

Up next for the Ducks: vs. St. Louis at Honda Center on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chris Kreider got the tying goal with 42 seconds left in regulation and Alex Killorn scored in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":490820,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[58317,2210,233,5292,265,1542,971,1739,30395,436,5,3040,264,4,9464,1936,15572,1856,951],"class_list":["post-490819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim-ducks","tag-19th-comeback-win","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-ducks","tag-anaheimducks","tag-canadiens","tag-chris-kreider","tag-cole-caufield","tag-ducks","tag-friday-night","tag-goal","tag-hockey","tag-leo-carlsson","tag-montreal","tag-nhl","tag-radko-gudas","tag-season","tag-shootout","tag-shot","tag-third-period"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116186808495656475","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490819"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490819\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/490820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
