Ducks Extend Home Win Streak

Cutter Gauthier was the hero for the Ducks, scoring two goals in regulation to bring his team-leading total to 28 for the season. The win didn't just extend their home streak; it was also the Ducks' fifth consecutive victory overall and their 12th win in the last 14 games. This strong performance has moved Anaheim to within a single point of the Vegas Golden Knights for the lead in the Pacific Division, with a game in hand. The eight-game home winning streak includes victories over a string of tough opponents. Prior to defeating Calgary, the Ducks bested the Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers, Seattle Kraken, and Vegas Golden Knights at home. The streak has been characterized by close games, with the team now holding an impressive 14-3 record in games that go past regulation time. For the San Jose Sharks, Michael Misa's overtime winner was his fourth goal of the season and his second in as many games. The victory gives the Sharks a much-needed two points as they fight to stay in the Western Conference playoff picture. The team currently sits in a wild card spot, battling with several other teams for a postseason berth. The Winnipeg Jets, on the other hand, continue to struggle, with the loss to the Sharks marking another setback. The team currently sits sixth in the Central Division. The loss in San Jose was part of a difficult stretch for the Jets, who have now lost four of their last five games.
