ANAHEIM, Calif. — – Joel Quenneville became the second coach in NHL history to win 1,000 games with the Anaheim Ducks<\/a>‘ 6-5 comeback victory over the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Quenneville joined Scotty Bowman in an exclusive hockey club with a milestone win in the Ducks’ first game back from the Olympic break.<\/p>\n

Cutter Gauthier<\/a> scored the tiebreaking goal with 1:14 to play for the Ducks, who erased a pair of two-goal deficits. Leo Carlsson<\/a> had a goal and two assists in his first appearance since Jan. 10 for the Ducks, who have won six straight home games and 10 of 12 overall to leapfrog the Oilers into second place in the Pacific Division.<\/p>\n

Zach Hyman<\/a> and Evan Bouchard<\/a> scored late in the second period to put the Oilers ahead, but Carlsson and Olen Zellweger<\/a> scored early in the third to even it again for Anaheim.<\/p>\n

Rookie Matt Savoie<\/a> then converted a rebound late in a power play for his 10th career goal, but Beckett Sennecke<\/a> answered 46 seconds later with a slick wrist shot for his 19th goal – tops among NHL rookies.<\/p>\n

Gauthier then converted a rebound of Carlsson’s shot, setting off a wild celebration inside a sold-out Honda Center.<\/p>\n

Jack Roslovic<\/a> and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins<\/a> scored for Edmonton. Connor McDavid<\/a> had two assists, giving the Olympic silver medalist an NHL-best 98 points in 59 games.<\/p>\n

Ian Moore<\/a> and Alex Killorn<\/a> scored for the Ducks, and Lukas Dostal<\/a> made 22 saves.<\/p>\n

Tristan Jarry<\/a> made 20 saves before getting pulled for Connor Ingram<\/a> after Sennecke’s tying goal with 13:21 to play.<\/p>\n

Carlsson was outstanding in his return to the Ducks’ lineup after missing the final 11 games before the break with a thigh injury<\/a> that kept him out of the Olympics.<\/p>\n

Mikael Granlund<\/a> didn’t play for Anaheim after captaining Finland to bronze in Milan. None of the Oilers’ Olympians sat out as they opened a three-game California road trip.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Oilers: At Los Angeles on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Ducks: Host Winnipeg on Friday.<\/p>\n
