In an exciting matchup on Tuesday night, the Anaheim Ducks edged out the New Jersey Devils with a 3-2 victory, thanks to a late tiebreaking goal by Ryan Strome with just over three minutes remaining. This win marks only the second time in six weeks that the Ducks have managed to secure back-to-back victories. Strome not only scored the pivotal goal but also contributed an assist, showcasing his integral role in the game.
The Ducks initially took control of the match with a two-goal lead, with Troy Terry and Robby Fabbri also finding the net. Lukas Dostal stood tall in goal, making 32 saves to help secure the win. The Devils, who had been leading the Eastern Conference, faced their second consecutive loss, with Timo Meier scoring the equalizer in the third period and Jonas Siegenthaler also contributing a goal.
The game saw a physical display from the Ducks, who have struggled throughout the season but managed to defeat both conference leaders at home recently. Terry's goal came after he forced a turnover, while Fabbri's effort was a result of a swift 2-on-1 rush. Despite the loss, the Devils showed resilience, particularly in the third period, as they aimed to regroup for their next game against the Los Angeles Kings.
