Overview

  • Anaheim beat Los Angeles 3-2 in a shootout on Jan. 16 at Crypto.com Arena after climbing back from a 2-0 deficit late in the second period.
  • Rookie Beckett Sennecke assisted on both Ducks goals and scored in the tiebreaker before Mason McTavish clinched it in the third round, while Lukas Dostal made 26 saves.
  • Tim Washe netted his first NHL goal and Ryan Strome scored to pull the Ducks level during a 2:44 burst in the second period.
  • Joel Armia returned from a five-game upper-body absence with a goal and an assist for the Kings, whose coach Jim Hiller criticized another late letdown as the team dropped its fifth in six and stayed tied for the most OT/SO losses.
  • The Ducks have won two straight after a nine-game skid but will be without leading scorer Leo Carlsson for about three to five weeks following left-thigh surgery, with the rematch set for Saturday in Anaheim.
