Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Corey Perry scored the game-winning goal at
2:14 of the overtime period, sending the Anaheim Ducks to a 3-2 win over the
Carolina Hurricanes at Honda Center.
The deciding play began with a little luck for the Ducks. Hurricanes' winger
Jussi Jokinen went back behind his net to pick up the puck and start the
break. Jokinen, who was leaning on his left edge, was tripped from behind by
Perry but the call wasn't made.
Perry chased down the loose disc on the left wing and sent a quick pass to
Sheldon Brookbank, who sent it back to Perry and the 2011 Hart Trophy winner
ripped a one-timer past Cam Ward for the victory.
Nick Bonino and Saku Koivu scored in regulation and Jonas Hiller made 31 saves
for the Ducks, who have won two straight.
Tuomo Ruutu and Eric Staal lit the lamp and Ward made 31 saves in defeat for
the Hurricanes, who squandered a chance to secure their first three-game
winning streak since October 12-18.
