In a closely contested NHL matchup, the Anaheim Ducks triumphed over the Winnipeg Jets with a 5-4 victory in overtime. The Ducks faced a challenging start, falling behind 0-2 early in the second period. However, they rallied back with a goal from Jacob Trouba at the end of the second and took a lead in the third, thanks to efforts from Leo Carlsson, Pavel Mintjukov, and Ryan Poehling. Despite the Jets tying the game with just over a minute left in regulation, the Ducks finished strong in overtime.

The pivotal moment came with just 13 seconds left on the clock in the overtime period when Chris Kreider scored the game-winner, assisted by Beckett Sennecke. Kreider's heroics highlighted not only his skills but also the Ducks' resilience in overcoming a two-goal deficit.
