Anaheim 4; Calgary 3 (OT)

With time winding down in regulation, Calgary defenseman Toni Lydman kept the puck in at the left point before whipping a desperation shot toward the net. The puck sneaked through the pads of goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere before the final buzzer, guaranteeing the Flames a point.

The Ducks did not let the improbable tally discourage them.

Steve Rucchin intercepted a pass by Jarome Iginla behind the Calgary net and fed Leclerc, who rifled a one-timer from the right faceoff circle past goalie Jamie McLennan to give Anaheim its sixth victory in seven games.

Petr Sykora scored twice and Paul Kariya had two assists for the Ducks, whose last seven contests have been decided by one goal. They moved four points ahead of Chicago for the final Western Conference playoff berth.
