DUCKS STREAM | NHL GAMECENTER

With the win, Anaheim improved to 4-2-1 in its last seven games and 16-29-5 overall. The Ducks have won three straight games for the first time this season and now have points in six straight meetings against the Coyotes (4-0-2).

Zegras earned the Ducks the extra standings point in overtime, finishing off a remarkable setup effort by John Klingberg, who finished with two assists. Max Jones also scored for Anaheim.
John Gibson earned his tenth win of the season, his third in his last four starts, stopping 32-of-33 Arizona shots, including a truly jaw-dropping game-saving stop in overtime that kept the Ducks alive.
Anaheim fired 45 shots on net in the win, the club's best total of the season.
Nick Ritchie scored the lone goal for the Coyotes, who fell to 16-28-6 on the season and 6-20-4 on the road. Netminder Connor Ingram made 43 saves in a hard-luck loss after keeping Arizona in the game early.
Anaheim controlled much of the first period territorially, but it would be Arizona that returned to the locker room with an early lead despite an 16-10 Ducks edge in shots.
The Ducks nearly found the night's first goal on several occasions early, first on a mad scramble in front of the Coyotes net that had the whole building holding its breath. Anaheim then kept up the pressure throughout a subsequent power play, with Grade-A looks coming in tight by McTavish and moments later on a one-timer by Silfverberg.
Instead Arizona would go ahead first, with an old friend delivering the opening salvo. Two minutes after his roughing penalty expired, Ritchie held a puck in at the Anaheim blue line, sweeping it back into the zone for Christian Fischer behind the net. Fischer then stepped out in front and returned the favor to Ritchie, sliding a cross-seam pass that Ritchie lifted home before his former teammate Gibson could slide across.
Ritchie, selected 10th overall by Anaheim in 2014, has three points in his last two games (1-2=3) and 9-12=21 points in 47 games this season.
The former Duck nearly added to the Arizona advantage in the middle frame, getting inside positoning in the low slot and coming inches from shoveling home a rebound from the side of the net, but Gibson stretched across to get just enough with the left pad to keep it a one-goal game.

The Ducks finally solved Ingram late in the second period, pulling even and cueing 'Bro Hymn' inside Honda Center for the first time on their 30th shot of the night. Klingberg fired a shot from along the right wing wall, which was blocked on the way. Jones won the race to the loose puck though, turning and firing a wrister over Ingram's glove to bring the Ducks back level.

ARI@ANA: Jones ties game at 1-1 in the 2nd

Jones has goals in two of his last five games (2-0=2). With the primary assist, Klingberg has found the scoresheet in three of his last six appearances (1-3=4).
That 1-1 deadlock lasted all the way to what became a truly wild 3-on-3 overtime session, absolutely stocked full of quality scoring chances and breakaways on both ends. Anaheim nearly missed on two 1-on-0 looks at Ingram while Gibson denied Arizona the extra standings point with an unbelievable robbery of defenseman Jakub Chychrun.

The dam would finally break with 86 seconds to go in the extra period. Klingberg took the puck away in the offensive zone and danced to the net, drawing the full attention of Arizona's defense before leaving a drop pass for Zegras, who buried it past Ingram for the game-winning goal.
Zegras has points in 11 of his last 13 games (8-7=15). The game-winner marked his third career OT goal, his second of the season. The 21-year-old is tied-for-eighth among NHL leaders in goals (eight) in January.
The Ducks return from the All-Star break with a two-game road trip, beginning Monday, Feb. 6 at Dallas.
