Anaheim rallied back with two in the same period starting with Sam Carrick to make it 2-1.
“When things go against you, you have to understand the sky’s not falling,” Ducks head coach Dallas Eakins said. “Both players are very important to our team. ‘Gibby’ was excellent in the net tonight, and Cam comes up with a massive, massive goal late in the game. It’s always interesting how these games end up and who ends up being big pieces of the win, but both guys certainlhttps://youtu.be/GosIt-9g_GIy had good games.”
Sam Steel tied it at 2-2 in the second period.
“We compete for each other, we work for each other,” Fowler said. “You go down a couple goals in the situation that we’re in, it would be easy to feel sorry for ourselves, but we have a young group, guys that are trying to get experience in this League. And it’s up to us guys that have been around to show them what’s it’s like to continue to fight and work, and that’s what we did tonight so I’m proud of our guys.”

“I knew I had a lot of support behind me tonight, just wanted to go into the game with confidence,” Byfield said. “You try to step up your game and bury all your chances. It was a lot of fun having fans in there and when you make a play or do something, make a good play or make a good pass, get a shot, the fans, you could hear them and it definitely gave me confidence out there.”
Calvin Petersen made 19 saves in the loss.
