Ducks Stay Atop Pacific With OT Win as MacKinnon’s Avalanche Await

Colorado, led by NHL scoring leader Nathan MacKinnon, now hosts Anaheim in a timely measure of the Ducks’ rise.

Overview

  • The Anaheim Ducks beat the Golden Knights 4-3 in Las Vegas on Jacob Trouba’s overtime winner, extending their winning streak to six and improving to 10-3-1.
  • Leo Carlsson scored twice and set up the OT goal to extend his point streak to nine games, underscoring a youth group that has already produced more than 50 points.
