Cutter Gauthier recorded his team-record second consecutive hat trick to help the visiting Anaheim Ducks earn a 5-4 win against the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Gauthier has eight goals in the past three games, including six on the power play, helping the Ducks go 10-for-12 with the man advantage during that span.<\/p>\n
Gauthier, 22, is the first NHL player to record multiple power-play goals in three consecutive games. The only other player with back-to-back hat tricks this season was the Florida Panthers’ Brady Tkachuk.<\/p>\n
Mikael Granlund had a goal and two assists, while Beckett Sennecke had four assists for the Ducks in the opener of a three-game trip through Canada. Leo Carlsson also scored, and Jackson LaCombe contributed two assists.<\/p>\n
Laurent Brossoit made 19 saves in his second straight start for Anaheim, which is 3-1-1 in its past five games.<\/p>\n
Jake DeBrusk scored twice, Liam Ohgren and Linus Karlsson also tallied, forward Elias Pettersson had two assists, and Kevin Lankinen made 17 saves for the Canucks, who are 1-12-1 in their past 14 games. Their only win during that span came in Anaheim on Oct. 27, when the Ducks blew a 5-2 third-period lead and lost 6-5 in overtime.<\/p>\n
The Ducks took a 5-2 lead at 4:11 of the third period in the rematch when Gauthier completed his third NHL hat trick, scoring with a wrist shot from above the right hashmarks off a rush.<\/p>\n
DeBrusk scored with a backhand from close range on a power play to cut the deficit to 5-3 at 5:30. He then scored on a deflection at 9:34 to pull Vancouver within one.<\/p>\n
Early in the contest, Granlund scored from the left hashmarks off a feed from Sennecke on a power play to give the Ducks a 1-0 lead at 4:04 of the first period.<\/p>\n
The Canucks were on a power play when Ohgren scored during a scramble in front of the crease to tie it 1-1 at 6:04.<\/p>\n
Gauthier scored again on a power play, connecting on a one-timer from the left circle to give the Ducks a 2-1 lead at 17:07 of the opening period.<\/p>\n
Carlsson scored on a short-handed 2-on-1 rush to make it 3-1 at 2:58 of the second period.<\/p>\n
Karlsson waited out Brossoit before scoring from a sharp angle to cut the gap to 3-2 at 8:17.<\/p>\n
The Ducks were back on a power play when Gauthier scored with another one-timer from the left circle to make it 4-2 at 18:25 of the second.<\/p>\n
