The goal was Chatfield’s first of the season.<\/p>\n Blake converted a loose puck after Alexander Nikishin’s shot was blocked to double the advantage midway through the third period. Hall capped the scoring by finding the empty net with 2:49 to play.<\/p>\n A pretty passing sequence led to Anaheim opening the scoring with 6:42 remaining in the first period.<\/p>\n Chris Kreider’s diagonal pass connected with Jackson LaCombe, who immediately fed the puck to an unmarked Poehling for an easy conversion.<\/p>\n Jankowski skated along the goal line before tucking the puck past Husso to forge a tie at 8:56 of the second period. The goal was his third of the season.<\/p>\n After failing to cash in at the left doorstep, Granlund made no mistake on his second attempt moments later. He redirected Mason McTavish’s feed into the net with 7:56 remaining in the second period for his eighth goal of the season.<\/p>\n Stankoven tapped home Hall’s offering just more than two minutes later to level the contest at 2-2.<\/p>\n –Field Level Media<\/p>\n Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab<\/a><\/p>\n
