Pavel Mintyukov took a shot to the upper body and went down, however, play continued and Gridin got a cross-ice pass from Maatta to put a wrist shot past Husso from the left dot.<\/p>\n<p>Granlund scored a power-play goal to draw the Ducks even at 2-2 at 16:27. Leo Carlsson tipped a Carlson point shot on net and Cooley made the save, but the puck bounced into the left circle to Granlund, who scored his second of the game with a snap shot.<\/p>\n<p>The Ducks played the game without forwards Jansen Harkins and Troy Terry. Harkins suffered an upper-body injury in \u00a0a 5-3 win at the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, while Terry was a late scratch due to a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n<p>Defensemen Radko Gudas left the game with an undisclosed injury in the second period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Anaheim on the power play, Granlund one-timed a pass in the high slot from defenseman John Carlson&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238682,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-238681","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\/238681","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=238681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238681\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
