ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Marco Rossi scored with 9.5 seconds left in overtime to help the Vancouver Canucks beat Anaheim 4-3 on Sunday night and prevent the Ducks from clinching a playoff spot.<\/p>\n
Anaheim has 90 points and can secure a playoff spot with a win Tuesday at Minnesota.<\/p>\n
Curtis Douglas, Jake DeBrusk and Brock Boeser each added a goal for Vancouver. The Canucks’ 56 points this season are the fewest in the NHL, 17 fewer than Calgary, the next closest. Nikita Tolopilo had 24 saves.<\/p>\n

Rossi scored with a one-timer from the right circle that beat goaltender Lukas Dostal glove side to win it. Dostal finished with 22 saves.<\/p>\n
Gauthier opened the scoring at 3:41 of the first period.<\/p>\n
Douglas answered about 10 minutes later and DeBrusk added a power-play goal with 5:23 left until the first intermission that gave Vancouver a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n
