ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Chris Kreider beat Connor Hellebuyck off a rebound at
4:47 of overtime to give the Anaheim Ducks a 5-4 victory over the Winnipeg Jets
on Friday night.
Beckett Sennecke kept the puck and shot on a two-on-one break, with Kreider
backhanding the loose puck in at the side of the net.
After Leo Carlsson, Pavel Mintyukov and Ryan Poehling scored third-period goals
to give Anaheim a 4-3 lead, Winnipeg's Kyle Connor tied it with 1:22 left and
Hellebuyck off for an extra attacker.
Hellebuyck made 35 saves in his first game since backstopping the United States
to Olympic gold.
Jacob Trouba also scored for Anaheim, Sennecke had three assists and Lukas
Dostal made 29 saves. The Ducks have won seven in a row at home and 11 of 13
overall.
Anaheim won two nights after returning from the break to beat Edmonton at home
for coach Joel Quenneville's 1,000th NHL victory. The Ducks have five games
left on a nine-game homestand.
Winnipeg rookie defenseman Elias Salomonsson had his first NHL goal and Alex
Iafallo and Gabriel Vilardi also scored. Well back in the race for a playoff
spot, Winnipeg has a game left on three-game trip before an eight-game
homestand.
