Anaheim gets right back to work after a thrilling comeback 5-4 shootout victory yesterday in Utah. The Ducks rallied from a three-goal deficit, tying the game late in the third period on goals by Robby Fabbri and Brett Leason three minutes apart, and stealing the extra point in the shootout on Mason McTavish's game-winner.

"They got up 4-1 and there was that point of the game where we tried to generate some energy internally to get some faith and belief back," head coach Greg Cronin said. "Once we got that second goal, it really changed the momentum of the game. I thought we skated more in the third period...There was more belief in our play and a little more confidence that if we got pucks down deep and we got them back, we'd have an opportunity to get some scoring chances off direct shots and rebounds."

The win, Anaheim's third in its last four games, pushed the club to 13-15-4 on the season and 7-5-3 on the road.

"We stuck with it," Fabbri said. "That's the part of this group that's pretty special, we're resilient. No matter what the score is or what streak we're on, we're going to play our game."

Added Leason, "We had a tough first few periods and just had to stick with it. In the third, we jumped off pretty quick and just kept going."

The Ducks pulled off the comeback win with their dads in attendance as part of the team's annual dads trip.

"It was awesome," Leason said. "They did so much for us growing up and for us to have all the dads here is special. It was nice to be able to get a win for them."

The second bout of that dads trip now comes in Sin City, where the Ducks look to extract some revenge on a Golden Knights team that has won each of the season's first three meetings and enters play tonight with wins in seven of its last eight games overall.

“We always talk about trying to use our depth. I think we're at our best as a group when we're able to roll through lines,” Vegas defenseman Nicolas Hague told NHL.com's Paul Delos Santos after Saturday's win over Seattle. “When we're making those little plays and everyone's pulling in the same direction, I think that makes us a pretty good team.

“We're doing a good job right now. There's obviously still stuff we can clean up, but it's nice to be coming on the right side of these games.”

Vegas (22-8-3, 47 points) leads the Pacific Division.
