Mikael Granlund completed his hat trick with a last-second overtime winning goal and the visiting Anaheim Ducks strengthened their hold on top spot in the Pacific Division with a 3-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday.<\/p>\n

John Carlson collected a pair of assists and Ville Husso made 23 saves for Anaheim (41-27-4, 86 points), which has won four straight games.<\/p>\n

Anaheim, looking to reach the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2018, has recorded 25 comeback victories this season.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Calgary\u2019s second too-man-men penalty of the game, the Ducks enjoyed a man-advantage late in overtime, and Granlund buried a one-timer from the high slot with one second remaining before the buzzer. <\/p>\n

Not only is it Granlund\u2019s fourth career hat trick, but he is also on a four-game goal-scoring streak in which he has tallied seven times.<\/p>\n

The Ducks have won four straight meetings with Calgary, all in extra time.<\/p>\n

Blake Coleman and Matvei Gridin replied for the Flames (30-34-8, 68 points), who had their four-game winning streak snapped.<\/p>\n

Olli Maatta collected a pair of assists and goalie Devin Cooley stopped 30 shots.<\/p>\n

The Flames twice staked a lead only to see the Ducks claw back.<\/p>\n

After coming so close to opening the scoring on a couple of occasions \u2014 a possible first-period goal was waived off due to an offside call thanks to a coach\u2019s challenge and another play could not prove the puck crossed the line \u2014 the Flames finally opened the scoring 66 seconds into the second period.<\/p>\n

Coleman put the hosts on the board when he redirected Joel Farabee\u2019s pass on a 2-on-1.<\/p>\n

Granlund tied the clash two minutes later when he elected to shoot during an odd-man rush and ripped home a high shot inside the post.<\/p>\n

Gridin put Calgary ahead a second time at 7:46 of the third period. Anaheim defenseman Pavel Mintyukov was hurt blocking a shot, but play continued and it ended with the Calgary rookie burying a quick shot from the left faceoff dot.<\/p>\n

But Granlund evened the score a second time with a power-play goal, finding the mark with a sharp-angled shot with 3:33 remaining in regulation.<\/p>\n

Just before the goal, Mintyukov returned but the news was not as good for Anaheim captain Radko Gudas, who left the game late in the second period due to a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n
