Troy Terry gets the last-minute winner in the Ducks' late rally to stun NHL-best Winnipeg 3-2

Troy Terry nets goal for Ducks

Frank Vatrano scored his second goal with 4:46 left for the Ducks, who have won back-to-back games for the first time since Nov. 19. Anaheim won in regulation for the first time in three weeks.

Lukas Dostal stopped 21 shots for the Ducks.

Gabriel Vilardi and Mark Scheifele scored for the Jets, who had won five of seven. Eric Comrie made 28 saves, but the seldom-used backup goalie remained winless in six starts since Nov. 1.

Vatrano tied it when his long shot banked off the skate of Vladislav Namestnikov and beat Comrie.

Defenseman Jacob Trouba made his home debut for the Ducks, who acquired the former Rangers captain 12 days ago. The game also was Anaheim's first at home since trading Cam Fowler to St. Louis.

Takeaways Jets: The NHL's best team again had plenty of time to recover from another sluggish start in California, but it followed up Tuesday's comeback in San Jose by blowing a late lead.

Ducks: They did little with a major shot advantage in the first two periods, but the team ranked 31st in the NHL in goals per game delighted its fans with that late offensive burst.

Key moment Vatrano got an assist on the winning goal when he broke up a pass between Jets defensemen Haydn Fleury and Neil Pionk deep in Winnipeg’s end. Terry pounced on the puck and scored his ninth goal in front.

Key stat Winnipeg didn’t record a shot on goal until nearly 11 1/2 minutes into the first period, and it didn’t manage its first shot in the second period until nearly 10 minutes had elapsed.

Up next Winnipeg hosts Minnesota on Saturday night, and Anaheim hosts Colorado on Friday night.
