Nathan MacKinnon had two goals, including the game-winner with 45 seconds left in overtime, and an assist as the Colorado Avalanche won their franchise-record 10th straight road game by beating the Anaheim Ducks 5-4 on Sunday.
MacKinnon's power-play goal in overtime followed his game-tying power-play goal with 4:32 left in regulation for the Avalanche, who rallied from a 4-2 third-period deficit.
Mikko Rantanen had two goals and two assists and J.T. Compher also scored for the Avalanche (49-24-6, 104 points), who won for the 14th time in their past 16 games. Pavel Francouz made 19 saves for Colorado.
Devon Toews had three assists and Valeri Nichushkin had two for Colorado, which moved two points ahead of the Dallas Stars (44-21-14, 102 points) atop the Central Division. Colorado is four points ahead of the Minnesota Wild (45-24-10, 100 points), as each team has three regular-season games remaining.

Vatrano broke a 2-2 tie after getting a pass from Troy Terry near the blue line and wristing a low shot that bounced off Francouz and the post before finding the back of the net at the 5:18 mark of the third period. Kevin Shattenkirk also assisted on the play.
The Ducks extended their advantage to 4-2 just over two minutes later when Leason scored off assists from Derek Grant and Jayson Megna at the 7:25 mark.
