Goaltender John Gibson also had a game to remember, on a night, where he surpassed Jean-Sebastien Giguere for most games played by a goaltender in Ducks history, he made 34 saves, including all three in the shootout.

“Obviously, being on that losing streak, we had to get out of it sooner or later and we needed everybody to step up and we did. We found a way,” Gibson said.

Alex Killorn scored his 200th career goal and became the second player selected in the third round or later of the 2007 draft to reach that milestone. Adam Henrique added a goal of his own.
