The Vancouver Canucks scored three goals in the last eight minutes of regulation and won in overtime on Tuesday night, beating the Anaheim Ducks 6-5 to end a 10 game losing streak in the wildest finish of the NHL night.

Vancouver trailed 5-2 with less than eight minutes left at the Honda Center. Jonathan Lekkerimaki scored twice in the final three minutes, at 17:14 of the third period and again through traffic with under two minutes to play, to tie the game. Filip Hronek then scored on a two man advantage with 10.4 seconds left in overtime. Liam Ohgren, Brock Boeser and Jamie Oleksiak scored the other Canucks goals, Boeser and Elias Pettersson each had two assists, and Leevi Merilainen made 18 saves. Vancouver won for the first time since October 3. A.J. Greer scored twice for Anaheim and Jackson LaCombe had three assists, but the Ducks lost for the sixth time in seven games, and for the eighth time in nine home games against Vancouver since December 2021. Lukas Dostal made 27 saves.
