VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) \u2014 Mikael Granlund scored twice, Alex Killorn had a goal and an assist, and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-3 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Mason McTavish and Troy Terry also scored for the Ducks, while John Carlson had three assists and Lukas Dostal stopped 27 shots.<\/p>\n
Anaheim grabbed a 2-1 lead in the second period, only to see Vancouver rally and tie the game twice before McTavish scored the winner at the 5:45 mark of the third.<\/p>\n
Jake DeBrusk, Brock Boeser and Drew O\u2019Connor scored for the Canucks, while Filip Hronek and Elias Pettersson each contributed a pair of assists. Kevin Lankinen made 29 saves.<\/p>\n
Pettersson\u2019s second assist of the night marked the 500th regular-season point of his NHL career.<\/p>\n
Anaheim remains atop the Pacific Division with a five-point cushion on the second-place Edmonton Oilers.<\/p>\n
Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas returned to the lineup after serving a five-game suspension for the knee-on-knee hit on Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews.<\/p>\n
The blow left Matthews with a torn knee ligament that required season-ending surgery.<\/p>\n
The Canucks got solid play from their special teams. DeBrusk and Boeser each scored power-play goals, and the penalty kill weathered a 95 second five-on-three before conceding Granlund\u2019s goal late in a penalty to defenseman Elias Pettersson.<\/p>\n
The Ducks fell behind 1-0 in the opening frame, then outshot Vancouver 14-12 and scored a pair of goals over a 2:24 span.<\/p>\n
McTavish got his first goal in 15 games. He buried his 14th goal of the season at the 5:45 mark of the third period, blasting a one-timer over Lankinen\u2019s glove from the faceoff dot to give the Ducks a 4-3 lead.<\/p>\n
Pettersson tallied his 500th regular-season point in his 533rd game. Thomas Gradin is the lone Canuck to hit the milestone faster, doing so in 529 games.<\/p>\n
