ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Pavel Mintyukov<\/a> slid a shot from the slot past Elvis Merzlikins<\/a> with 3:29 left and the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> beat the Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a> 4-3 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Mikael Granlund<\/a> threaded a pass from the right circle to set up Merzlikins, and also scored. Jacob Trouba<\/a> and Mason McTavish<\/a> added goals to help the Ducks move back into first place in the Pacific Division. <\/p>\n

Anaheim goalie Lukas Dostal<\/a> made 23 saves. He was pulled Friday night in an 8-3 loss to Dallas after he gave up four goals on seven shots in the first 14 1\/2 minutes.<\/p>\n

Dmitri Voronkov<\/a>, Mason Marchment<\/a> and Zach Werenski<\/a> scored for Columbus. Merzlikins made 24 saves.<\/p>\n

Werenski tied it at 3 with 7:16 left, taking a pass from Denton Mateychuk<\/a> and snapping a shot from the left circle over Dostal\u2019s right blocker. He has five goals in three games and 14 overall.<\/p>\n

Werenski was injured when he blocked a shot with 2:11 left and struggled to get to the bench, the Blue Jackets taking a penalty for too many men on the ice that stifled any comeback hopes.<\/p>\n

Columbus tied it at 2 when Marchment, acquired from the Seattle Kraken<\/a> on Friday, redirected a waist-high, blue-line shot from Damon Severson<\/a> past Dostal 3:39 into the second.<\/p>\n

Anaheim took a 3-2 lead when fourth-line winger Ross Johnston<\/a> slipped a pass from behind the Columbus net to McTavish, who snapped a shot from the slot over Merzlikins\u2019s right shoulder with 6:24 left in the second.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Ducks: Host Seattle on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Blue Jackets: At Los Angeles on Monday night.<\/p>\n
