Following a sensational goal by Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon early in the first period, it took the Anaheim Ducks all of 51 seconds to retake the lead.

John Gibson added 33 saves two days after he recorded a shutout, and Jakob Silfverberg scored for a second straight game to help the Ducks win for the fifth time in six games.
