Takeaways from the Ducks 6-5 OT Loss to the Canucks

The Anaheim Ducks blew a 5-2 lead to lose 6-5 in overtime to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday at Honda Center. Anaheim squandered the three-goal advantage against Vancouver, who entered the contest in last place in the NHL having lost ten straight games. Ducks head coach Joel Quenneville called the result a "terrible loss" after defensive breakdowns allowed Vancouver to complete the comeback.

Goaltender Lukas Dostal made 27 saves on 33 shots for Anaheim, while Canucks netminder Leevi Meriläinen stopped 18 of 23. Vancouver scored twice late with an extra attacker during a 6v5 advantage, capitalizing on Anaheim's defensive-zone coverage errors and penalty trouble, as the Ducks were forced to kill seven penalties in the game.
