Troy Terry, Rickard Rakell, Josh Manson, Hampus Lindholm and
Isac Lundestrom also scored goals for Anaheim, which defeated
Vegas for just the second time in team history (2-9-0) at the
Honda Center and the fourth time overall (4-18-0).
Anthony Stolarz finished with 34 saves as the Ducks completed a
sweep of a back-to-back that began with a 5-4 shootout win at
the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.
Mattias Janmark and Max Pacioretty each had a goal and an assist
and William Carrier, Zach Whitecloud and Reilly Smith also
scored goals for Vegas, which suffered its third loss in the
last four games. Robin Lehner made 28 saves.
Following a scoreless first period, the two teams combined for
six goals in the second with Anaheim taking a 4-2 lead.
Terry made it 1-0 with his 15th goal of the season, one-timing a
Drysdale pass from the left circle past Lehner's blocker side.
Rakell followed 2:15 later with his seventh goal of the season,
chipping in a loose puck from the bottom of the right circle
over Lehner's shoulder.
Vegas cut it to 2-1 on when Carrier broke in on a three-on-one
break and cut across the front of the crease and fired a wrist
shot past Stolarz's glove.
Anaheim answered with goals by Manson, whose shot from the right
boards caromed in off the skate of Alex Pietrangelo, and
Lindholm, who fired a shot from the left point through heavy
traffic into the top far corner to make it 4-1.
But Vegas rallied to cut the lead to 4-3 with two short-handed
goals in the span of a little over two minutes. Whitecloud got
the first at the 19:48 mark when he knocked in a pass from
Janmark into the left side of the net. Janmark followed at the
1:58 mark of the third period on a breakaway, the league-leading
fifth short-handed goal of the season for the Golden Knights.
Drysdale extended Anaheim's lead to 5-3 with his third goal of
the season on a wrist shot from the right circle inside the far
left post but Pacioretty made it 5-4 at the 11:30 mark with a
power-play goal.
Manson picked up a roughing penalty with 1:52 to go and the
Golden Knights pulled Lehner for a six-on-four power play but
the Ducks made it 6-4 with an empty net short-handed goal by
Lundestrom with 1:04 left. Smith ended the scoring with his 10th
goal of the season with 28.1 seconds left.
