Defenseman Ian Moore scored the go-ahead goal with 3:35 left in the third period and Lukas Dostal made 36 saves, lifting the Anaheim Ducks to a 4-3 win over the visiting Boston Bruins on Wednesday.
After the Bruins rallied from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits to tie the score on Morgan Geekie's second goal of the game at 7:39 of the third, Moore took Leo Carlsson's pass to the high slot and teed up a slap shot that fluttered off a body in front and past goalie Joonas Korpisalo.
Jansen Harkins, Radko Gudas and Ryan Strome also scored for Anaheim, which has won back-to-back games following a three-game skid. Mason McTavish recorded two assists for the Ducks, who are on a six-game home winning streak.
Dostal, who improved to 10-5-1 on the season, made 17 saves in the first period alone.
In addition to Geekie's pair, Michael Eyssimont also netted a goal, Hampus Lindholm dished out two assists and Korpisalo stopped 29 shots for the Bruins, who have lost three of four.
Boston had a 39-33 advantage in shots and went 2-for-2 on the power play while Anaheim finished 1-for-3.
The Ducks scored the first two goals and led 2-1 after a first period during which it was outshot 18-11. Harkins opened the scoring 2:29 in, slotting home Russ Johnston's cross-ice pass after picking up the rebound of a Nikita Nesterenko shot that bounced back into the slot.
Gudas made it a 2-0 lead exactly four minutes later, teeing up a shot from the blue line that deflected in off a defender.
Geekie halved the Boston deficit on a power play at the 14:58 mark. He tipped Lindholm's point shot off Dostal's glove and over the goal line.
Dostal punctuated a period full of key saves by stopping Nikita Zadorov's try on a 2-on-0 rush in the final minute.
Following another Boston push to start the second, Strome scored late in a power play at 13:47 to extend the Anaheim edge to 3-1. The center deflected McTavish's point shot past Korpisalo. McTavish had a goal waved off due to goaltender interference earlier in the period.
Zadorov sprung Fraser Minten for a break-in that Dostal saved in the final four minutes of the middle frame, but another long feed led to Eyssimont cutting toward the net on the right side to score a wrist shot goal with 1:33 to go before the second intermission.
The Bruins needed just eight seconds of a third-period power play to knot the score at 3-3. Off a faceoff, Geekie was stationed in front of the crease and tipped David Pastrnak's shot from the top of the left circle.
Both goaltenders made game-saving stops minutes later. Geekie had his bid for a hat-trick goal denied by Dostal at the side of the net before Korpisalo stopped McTavish off a turnover in front.
