Ducks down Sharks, 3-2, in OT

In Anaheim, Troy Terry scored with 61 seconds left on the regulation clock to get the Ducks even with the visiting San Jose Sharks, 2-2, on Wednesday night.

“I honestly wasn’t sure if it was offsides or not, so I didn’t really know if I could fully celebrate or not when we tied it, but a big play by Leo,” Terry said. “I think we had the puck in their end more a lot of the game, we just weren’t getting shots for it. I thought in the third, we made more of a commitment to do that.”

Frank Vatrano scored with 53 seconds left in the extra session to give ANaheim a 3-2 win.

“We’ve been on the wrong side of a lot of those games, so it was nice to have a heroic comeback there,” Terry said. “It felt kind of like the first 15 games of the year when we were doing that, so it was good.”

John Gibson made 26 saves in the win.

The Ducks moved to 18-30-2 with a four-game point streak.

Anaheim took a 1-0 lead at 2:12 of the opening stanza on a strike by Isac Lundestrom.

San Jose dropped to 14-32-5.

“The one thing you feel good about right now is how we’re playing and our compete, and not giving up a lot of goals,” San Jose coach David Quinn said. “Just overall playing better hockey.”

The Sharks replied to the deficit with a pair of goals to take the lead, 2-1.

Anthony Duclair hit off the power play at 6:59 of the first to tie it up at 1-1.

In the middle frame, Marc-Edouard Vlasic put the Sharks up, 2-1, at t 17:57.

“I thought we were the better team for a lot of the game, but the third period they kind of took over and they had a lot of looks,” San Jose captain Logan Couture said. “We looked tired at the end there.”
