3 own goals doom Devils

ANAHEIM — Daniel Sprong and Ryan Getzlaf scored in the shootout to lead the Ducks to a 6-5 victory over the Devils on Sunday.

Anaheim goalie John Gibson blocked one Devil shot in the shootout and Taylor Hall’s attempt bounced off the crossbar.

Jakob Silfverberg, Kiefer Sherwood, Brandon Montour, Pontus Aberg and Ondrej Kase scored in regulation for the Ducks, with three of the goals deflected off Devil players.

Anaheim’s Ryan Miller, looking to become the all-time leader in U.S.-born goaltender wins, left the game with 12:47 left in the third period after a pair of players crashed into him at the net. He appeared to have injured his left leg. Miller stopped 23 of the 27 shots. Gibson notched seven saves through overtime.

Kyle Palmieri scored two goals for the Devils, and Damon Severson, Brent Seney and Marcus Johansson also scored. Cory Schneider stopped 33 shots.

The Ducks picked up two aided goals in the third period. Aberg’s long, blind backhand went off the hand of the Devils’ Ben Lovejoy to tie it, 4-4, and Anaheim took the lead when Kase’s goal was knocked in by Andy Greene, attempting to bat it away from the net.

The Devils pulled Schneider for an extra skater with 57.8 seconds left in regulation and Johansson scored after a scramble in front of the net.

Only one goal was scored in the second period, the Devils converting a turnover by Anaheim into Seney scoring on a rebound and a 4-3 lead.
