ANAHEIM, Calif. B次元官网网址� Ryan Getzlaf scored a breakaway goal 2:30 into overtime, and John Gibson made 39 saves in the Anaheim DucksB次元官网网址� 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night.
Jakob Silfverberg scored a short-handed goal in the first period for the Ducks, who improved to 6-1-0 at Honda Center with their second straight victory to open a seven-game homestand.
Adam Gaudette got credit for VancouverB次元官网网址檚 tying goal with 6:18 to play when his apparent pass toward a driving Brandon Sutter deflected in off the skate of Anaheim defenceman Korbinian Holzer. The goal came on the CanucksB次元官网网址� 38th shot during a frustrating evening against Gibson, who came close to his 19th career shutout in a phenomenal performance.
But in overtime, Getzlaf got behind all three Canucks skaters and received a beautiful pass from Troy Terry. Jacob Markstrom rushed out of his net to stop Getzlaf, but the long-serving Ducks captain sidestepped the goalie and tapped in his seventh goal of the season in his 999th career game.
Markstrom stopped 27 shots for the Canucks, who have earned a point in six consecutive games. Vancouver lost for only the third time in 11 games, and fell to 0-3-1 when scoring fewer than three goals in a game.

Silfverberg and Rickard Rakell broke away during the DucksB次元官网网址� second penalty kill, with Rakell getting the puck to Silfverberg alone in front of Markstrom, his teammate for several seasons at the start of their pro careers in Sweden.

The goal also put Silfverberg at a plus-12, tying teammate Adam HenriqueB次元官网网址檚 NHL-leading mark entering the evening.
Vancouver had a 32-11 shots advantage late in the second period, but couldnB次元官网网址檛 beat Gibson until the waning minutes of the third, shortly after the CanucksB次元官网网址� fifth fruitless power play expired.
No update on Hughes, says Coach Green.
