ANAHEIM, Calif. — – Alex Killorn<\/a> broke a second-period tie, rugged newcomer Jeffrey Viel<\/a> scored his first goal of the season and the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> beat the New York Rangers<\/a> 5-3 on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Cutter Gauthier<\/a> scored twice on his 22nd birthday – the second into an empty net in the final minute – to push his season total to 22. Mason McTavish<\/a> also scored to help Anaheim to its fourth victory in a row following a nine-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

Lukas Dostal<\/a> made 19 saves, surviving a wild scramble on a late 21-second two-man advantage.<\/p>\n

Matthew Robertson<\/a>, Artemi Panarin<\/a> and Vladislav Gavrikov<\/a> scored for New York, and Spencer Martin<\/a> stopped 21 shots in his fourth NHL game of the season.<\/p>\n

Seeing time with Igor Shesterkin<\/a> sidelined by a lower-body injury, Martin was back in goal after stopping 25 shots Saturday in a 6-3 victory in Philadelphia that ended a five-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

Killorn gave Anaheim a 3-2 lead<\/a> with 1:58 left in the second period. He scored off a rebound of Jacob Trouba’s long shot after a prolonged scramble behind the goal.<\/p>\n

Gauthier padded the lead at 1:01 of the third, and Gavrikov countered for New York at 7:11 with a long shot on a power play.<\/p>\n

Viel tied it at 2 at 8:29 of the second with his first goal for the Ducks<\/a> and the first in 12 NHL games this season. Acquired from Boston on Friday for a 2026 fourth-round pick, Viel controlled Ryan Poehling’s feed from the blue line and beat Martin from close range.<\/p>\n

Viel had no points and 30 penalty minutes in 10 games this season for Boston, and added another fighting major in his Ducks debut Saturday night in a 2-1 overtime victory over Los Angeles. In 66 career NHL games, he has four goals, two assists and 188 penalty minutes.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Rangers: At Los Angeles on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Ducks: At Colorado on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
