Leo Carlsson scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period and Alex Killorn had a goal and assist to lift the visiting Anaheim Ducks to a 3-2 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.
Trevor Zegras added two assists for Anaheim, which won its third straight while sending the Blackhawks to their third loss in a row. Ducks goaltender John Gibson made 18 saves.
Carlsson provided the Ducks with their lone lead of the night, striking from in front of the net to redirect a Killorn pass from outside the right circle at 9:38 of the third period.
Jason Dickinson scored twice and Connor Bedard had two assists for Chicago. The Ducks outshot the Blackhawks 24-20 and had a 27-13 advantage in hits.
Dickinson recorded his first multi-goal game of the season while Bedard ended a three-game pointless streak. Five of Bedard’s 12 assists this season have come against the Ducks.
The Blackhawks opened the scoring at 17:03 of the first period. Bedard took a pass from TJ Brodie just inside the blue line, turned to his left and sent a pass to a waiting Dickinson, who one-timed a shot from the right circle past Gibson.
Anaheim got the equalizer just 2:02 later as Pavel Mintyukov finished a short-side opportunity from the left circle after Brett Leason guided a pass through the crease from the right side.
Leason, who contributed a goal and two assists during Anaheim’s win in Dallas on Monday, has seven points in five games in November.
Chicago regained the lead at 3:54 of the second period. Working behind the net, Bedard slid a no-look pass to Dickinson, who wristed another past Gibson.
That gave the Blackhawks an 11-7 edge in shots on goal, but the Ducks responded with a push through the rest of the period and into the third.
Zegras’ no-look pass from behind the net created an opportunity for Killorn, who weaved into the slot and beat Chicago goalie Arvid Soderblom on the backhand to tie the game at 5:10 of the third.
Soderblom stopped 21 shots.
Anaheim went 0-for-2 on the power play. Chicago was 0-for-1.
Drew Commesso was called up from Chicago’s American Hockey League affiliate in Rockford, Ill., to serve as backup goalie. Starter Petr Mrazek missed the game due to a personal matter.
