Pontus Aberg trudged over to the penalty box after he was called for slashing Nathan MacKinnon. There were just 14.7 seconds remaining in overtime, but that was all the vaunted Colorado Avalanche power play needed.
With 1.3 seconds left, NHL-points leader Mikko Rantanen ripped a one-timer past Ryan Miller to lead the Avalanche to a 4-3 victory over the Ducks before 16,502 at Honda Center.
The Ducks performed well against a high-powered offense once again, but the effort wasn’t enough. Nothing has been enough for this squad that has just three wins in its last 15 outings.
