Alex Killorn scored the tiebreaking goal with 8:49 to play, and the Ducks rallied from a two-goal deficit for a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday.
Anaheim went ahead when three Canadiens got occupied with other Ducks and allowed Killorn to walk in from the side wall. His shot appeared to bank off Arber Xhekaj’s stick for his 11th goal.
Mason McTavish and Frank Vatrano scored 40 seconds apart in the second period for the Ducks, who have won four of five. Killorn had a goal and an assist, while Lukas Dostal made 21 saves.
Joel Armia scored a short-handed goal and Christian Dvorak added a power-play goal in the first period for the Canadiens, who have lost five straight. Sam Montembeault stopped 19 shots in the opener of Montreal’s three-game California road trip.
Matt Coronato scores a natural hat trick and goaltender Dustin Wolf makes 30 saves to lead the Calgary Flames to a 4-1 victory over the Ducks.
Armia opened the scoring when Anaheim’s Jackson LaCombe made a mistake on a pinch and gave up a 3-on-1 rush for Montreal.
Dvorak scored his fifth goal of the season four minutes later.
The Ducks finally answered late in the second when McTavish redirected Killorn’s shot in front for his 13th goal. Vatrano tied it moments later when Ryan Strome slipped a clever backhand pass to him for the veteran’s 16th goal.
Troy Terry, the Ducks’ leading scorer, missed the game with an illness.
Montreal ended a four-game drought on the power play with Dvorak’s goal.
The Ducks next host the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night.
