Chris Kreider scored two goals, Cutter Gauthier and Ryan Poehling each scored one and the Anaheim Ducks got back to their winning ways with a 4-3 victory over the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Troy Terry had two assists in his return from an 11-game absence because of an upper body injury and Lukas Dostal made 28 saves in the Ducks’ fourth consecutive home victory. Anaheim moved back into playoff position with the win.<\/p>\n
The Ducks entered the contest on a two-game losing streak that immediately followed a seven-game winning streak. Anaheim finished the season series with three victories in three tries over Vegas, including two in overtime.<\/p>\n
Mitch Marner, Ivan Barbashev and Tomas Hertl scored goals and Adin Hill made 19 saves for the Golden Knights, who matched a season-high five-game losing streak (0-3-2). Vegas also is 1-5-2 since a seven-game winning streak that ended Jan. 19.<\/p>\n
Kreider gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead at 13:21 of the first period when Poehling’s pass in front of the net deflected off his skate and over the line.<\/p>\n
Kreider turned a stick deflection into a 2-0 lead at 1:10 of the second period. Jacob Truba’s blast from the left point was knocked down by Kreider and redirected past Hill for his 19th of the season, second most on the team.<\/p>\n
Gauthier tallied his team-leading 24th of the season on the power play for a 3-0 lead at 4:32 of the second period when he scored through traffic from the left penalty spot.<\/p>\n
The Golden Knights pulled back a goal at 9:47 of the second period when Mark Stone’s pass from behind the goal was deflected to Marner, who scored before Dostal could recover.<\/p>\n
Vegas cut the deficit to 3-2 at 10:40 of the third period when Barbashev tipped in a shot past Dostal. Barbashev now has a goal in three consecutive games immediately following a 16-game run without a score.<\/p>\n
Poehling scored into an empty net for Anaheim off an assist from Terry with 1:07 remaining, and Hertl added a goal for Vegas with 5.3 seconds left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chris Kreider scored two goals, Cutter Gauthier and Ryan Poehling each scored one and the Anaheim Ducks got…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160030,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-160029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
