Brayden McNabb<\/a>\u2019s short-handed goal extended it to 2-0 at 12:13. The Ducks were on their second power play when Marner picked off a pass in the Anaheim zone and sped the other way. Marner pulled up above the left circle and dropped a pass for McNabb, who skated into the same circle before scoring with a snap shot over Dostal’s left pad and under his glove.<\/p>\n

Marner\u2019s power-play goal with five seconds left pushed it to 3-0 when he scored on his own rebound from the side of the crease.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn’t a great start,” Ducks forward Alex Killorn<\/a>\u00a0said. “They score in the first five minutes and then they get a PK goal and then that goal on the power play with five seconds left. It’s tough to win a game when you put yourself in spots like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marner\u2019s second goal of the game made it 4-0 at 9:19 of the second period. He received a pass as he skated through the right circle and waited out Husso before tucking the puck into the net from in close.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Marner) is very confident in what he brings,” Tortorella said. “You know, people give him (stuff) all the time about playoffs and this and that, and I don\u2019t think it bothers him a lick. He just plays. He\u2019s a hockey player, and I\u2019m glad he’s doing some things for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marner completed the natural hat trick at 17:56 to extend it to 5-0, bringing the puck out from behind the Anaheim net and scoring short side from the bottom of the left circle.<\/p>\n

Marner leads all skaters in points this postseason with 13 (six goals, seven assists).<\/p>\n

“I try to always be an energizer guy,” Marner said. “A guy that goes out there and brings a lot of passion and energy to games. Obviously, I always want the puck on my tape. I want to try to make the plays.”<\/p>\n

Sennecke made it 5-1 at 6:30 of the third period when he beat Hart to a rebound in the crease by diving in and pushing the puck into the net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brayden McNabb\u2019s short-handed goal extended it to 2-0 at 12:13.
