Blackhawks 3, Ducks 2 (OT)
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Center Artem Anisimov scored in overtime as the Chicago Blackhawks rallied for a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday in front of a sellout crowd of 17,174.
Right winger Patrick Kane extended his streak of consecutive games with at least one point to 18. Kane tied Phil Kessel and Ed Olczyk for the longest such streak among American-born players.
Anisimov scored his team-leading 10th goal at 3:07 of overtime. Defenseman Brent Seabrook sped through the middle and passed to Anisimov on his left. Anisimov converted inside the left post and passed goalie John Gibson, who made his second start of the season.
The defending Stanley Cup champions (13-8-2) were less than two minutes from their third loss in four games when they nullified a 2-0 deficit.
Right winger Marian Hossa ended Gibson's quest for a shutout with 1:41 left in regulation when he one-timed a slap shot from the right point for his fourth goal. Defenseman Duncan Keith followed 74 seconds later when his slap shot from the left point tie the score with 26.6 seconds remaining. Kane earned one of the assists.
The Ducks (8-12-4) scored the first goal only 1:02 after the opening faceoff on left winger Andrew Cogliano's third of the season. Defenseman Cam Fowler began the sequence by securing a loose puck in Anaheim's end, then passed to left winger Carl Hagelin at the left boards. Hagelin found Cogliano on a breakaway, and Cogliano backhanded the puck between goalie Corey Crawford's legs.
Later in the first period, the Blackhawks received two power-play opportunities in a span of 4:35. Left winger Patrick Maroon went to the penalty box for interference at 10:09, followed by defenseman Sami Vatanen for holding at 12:24. But Anaheim's penalty killers held Chicago to one shot on goal.
The Ducks extended their lead to 2-0 at 7:34 of the second period. Seabrook bumped center Ryan Kesler off the puck near the left boards, but Anaheim defenseman Hampus Lindholm secured it in the slot and passed to Stewart, who fired a wrist shot near the right post for his fourth goal of the saason.
