Ducks 3, Sharks 2 (OT): Ryan Kesler scored 58 seconds into overtime and Frederik Andersen made 30 saves as host Anaheim posted its ninth win in 11 games.

Although San Jose was able to kill off defenseman Brent Burns' high-sticking penalty that spanned into overtime, the Ducks kept the pressure on in the offensive end. Kesler sized up his options from the left faceoff circle and wristed a shot over the glove of Antti Niemi (29 saves) for his 12th goal - and sixth in nine games.

Defenseman Cam Fowler celebrated his 300th career game by scoring from the slot late in the third period to forge a 2-2 tie for the Ducks, who have an NHL-best 53 points and lead the second-place Sharks by eight in the Pacific Division. Rickard Rakell netted his first career regular-season goal, captain Ryan Getzlaf notched two assists and Matt Beleskey added one while also playing in his 300th career contest.

Joe Pavelski scored his league-leading ninth power-play goal and Melker Karlsson netted his first career tally for San Jose, which saw its five-game winning streak come to a halt and fell for the second time in 11 contests. Joe Thornton notched an assist for his 874th point to move past Phil Esposito and into sole possession of 22nd place on the all-time list.

Anaheim drew first blood as Rakell received a fortunate carom off the glass from Emerson Etem and batted the puck home at 7:20 of the second period before Pavelski deflected Burns' shot from the point past Andersen two minutes into the third. Playing in his sixth career game, Karlsson unleashed a shot from above the faceoff circle that squeezed past Andersen nearly six minutes later to give San Jose a 2-1 edge.
