Kesler unleashed a shot while on one knee that was tipped past Brodeur by Palmieri at 5:20 to put Anaheim ahead before Shattenkirk beat Andersen high to the glove side 63 seconds later to forge a 2-2 tie.

The back-and-forth contest continued as Cogliano ripped a shot past Brodeur from the right hash marks midway through the session. Steen knotted things again with a one-timer from the right faceoff dot during a two-man advantage with 3:33 left in the second, but Beleskey skated to the net from the right wing and beat Brodeur with 9:05 remaining in the third to put the Ducks back in front.
