ANAHEIM, Calif. — \u2014 Marco Rossi<\/a> scored with 9.5 seconds left in overtime to help the Vancouver Canucks<\/a> 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<\/a>, Jake DeBrusk<\/a> and Brock Boeser<\/a> 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<\/a> had 24 saves.<\/p>\n

Rossi scored with a one-timer from the right circle that beat goaltender Lukas Dostal<\/a> 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
