Anaheim took the lead 1:52 into the third when Fowler jumped into the rush, took a pass from Trevor Zegras, and wired a shot inside the goalpost for his first goal in 22 games. Anaheim made it 4-2 at 5:09 when Terry carried the puck down the left wing and found Killorn in the slot for the goal.
After Kuzmenko’s second of the night at 9:34 cut the lead to one, Killorn put the game away with his second 17th of the season at 13:14.
Down 1-0 after the first period, Calgary tied it 2:30 into the second period, needing just five seconds to connect on a power play.
