In Anaheim, Patrick Kane scored with just 24 seconds elapsed in extra time to send the Chicago Blackhawks to a 3-2 win over the Ducks.
“It’s always nice to score, nice to score in overtime, nice for the team to get a win,” Kane said. “Three out of four points in this California swing so far, it’s a good start.”
Robin Lehner made 36 saves to get the win as the Hawks moved to 4-6-3.
“We did a good job scrambling together when it was scramble mode,” Lehner said. “[The defense] played real hard and helped me out, and we stuck in there together.”
For Ryan Getzlaf, the game was his his 1000th career NHL match.
“It has probably been a great privilege for everyone around here watching that young man grow up,” Anaheim coach Dallas Eakins said of Getzlaf. “To play 1,000 games in one jersey is a very hard thing to do and we are all very, very proud of his accomplishment.”
Erik Gudbranson and Nick Ritchie scored for the Ducks.
“[The Blackhawks] playing [Saturday] night was an opportunity for us to really jump on them hard,” Eakins said. “I’m not sure we quite accomplished what we wanted there, but always good to come back and get back in the game.”
Adam Boqvist had a goal for the Hawks and Alex DeBrincat scored on a 5-on-3 power play in the first period.
“Didn’t really have the greatest start to the season, obviously. We’re trying to hang in there, hang tough and play the way we need to to win hockey games,” Kane said.
Anaheim dropped to 9-6-1.

Ryan Miller made 34 saves in the loss.
“It was a very warm welcome, a little emotional during the game. A little embarrassing. I’m not very good at those things,” Getzlaf said after the game.
