Chicago had a 2-1 lead heading into the final period thanks to goals from Jonathan Toews and Nick Leddy, but Jonas Hiller stopped all eight shots he saw in the third while Anaheim was rallying.

Bobby Ryan tied it with 5:27 remaining and Selanne gave the Ducks the lead just over a minute later. Sheldon Souray clinched the victory by scoring into an empty net with 21 seconds to go.

Anaheim has also lost only three games in regulation this season, but has dropped one more in overtime than the Blackhawks.

Both Hiller and Chicago's Corey Crawford made 22 saves.
