Carter Verhaeghe scored the game-winning goal 1:42 into overtime as the Florida Panthers beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-3.
It’s a sixth win in their last nine games for the Panthers and a fifth straight loss for the Ducks.
Eric and Marc Staal, along with Ryan Lomberg also scored for the Panthers, who benefited from 24 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky.
Mason McTavish, Frank Vatrano and Dmitry Kulikov replied for the Ducks, who botched John Gibson’s 50-save effort.
However, it was the Ducks who had given themselves a 2-0 priority in the first period, after the goals of McTavish and Vatrano, on the power play.
The Panthers came from behind in second. Eric Staal made it 2-1 after just over two minutes of play. With just over two minutes left in the middle period, his brother Marc tied the game.
Kulikov gave the Ducks a one-goal lead, before seeing the Panthers close the gap again thanks to Lomberg, midway through the engagement.
