The Ducks improved to 14-3 in games that have gone to overtime.<\/p>\n<p>McTavish slid the puck through Devin Cooley\u2019s legs for the shootout winner. Joel Farabee and Yegor Sharangovich scored for the Flames in regulation, and Cooley stopped 34 shots.<\/p>\n<p>Gauthier tied it 2-all with 9:19 left in the third period when he rifled a shot from the right circle past Cooley\u2019s left skate for his team-leading 28th goal.

The puck popped into the air, came down, caromed off Cooley\u2019s back and in.<\/p>\n<p>But the Flames went ahead with 3:50 to go in the period when Sharangovich took a pass from Kevin Bahl and snapped a shot from the top of the left circle over Dostal\u2019s blocker for a power-play goal.<\/p>\n<p>Calgary took a 1-0 lead at 9:41 of the first on Farabee\u2019s backhand tip-in from the front of the crease. Ryan Lomberg assisted with a precision pass from the top of the left circle.<\/p>\n<p>Anaheim coach Joel Quenneville, who last week joined Scotty Bowman as the only NHL coaches to win 1,000 games, was honoured during a pregame ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Ducks: Host the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Flames: Host the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ANAHEIM, Calif. \u2014 Cutter Gauthier scored twice in regulation, Leo Carlsson and Mason McTavish both converted in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":200137,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":{"0":"post-200136","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-anaheim","8":"tag-anaheim","9":"tag-anaheim-headlines","10":"tag-anaheim-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200136","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=200136"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200136\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
