Leo Carlsson scores in OT and the Ducks beat Utah 5-4 for their ninth straight home win.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) – Leo Carlsson scored 54 seconds into overtime and the Anaheim Ducks won their ninth straight home game, 5-4 over the Utah Hockey Club on Wednesday night.

Clayton Keller put Utah ahead 4-3 with 9:10 to play in regulation, but Pavel Mintyukov tied it for Anaheim with 5:05 left.

Carlsson, the second overall pick in the 2023 draft, then converted a pass from Troy Terry for the first goal of his second NHL season.

Robby Fabbri scored his first goal since joining Anaheim, and Terry got his second goal of the season. Lukas Dostal made 26 saves.

Keller and Barrett Hayton scored their fourth goals in five games this season for Utah. Jack McBain and Michael Kesselring also scored.

Connor Ingram stopped 29 shots for Utah, which fell to 3-1-1 at the end of a four-game road trip.

Takeaway food

Utah: The offense doesn’t seem to be a problem, but Utah’s defense has been tough to start the year. The opponents have scored 19 goals in five games, including at least two goals in each competition.

Ducks: Anaheim has missed the playoffs a franchise-record six straight seasons, but still drew a sellout crowd to the Honda Center for the opener. The Ducks haven’t lost a home opener since 2016 and have won 12 straight by one point.

key moment

Utah was closing in on a regulation win before Mintyukov had the first two-goal game of his career because Ingram couldn’t handle his close shot, allowing it to sneak behind him at the net.

Key statistic

The Ducks power play is 0 for 11 to start the season.

Next

Utah: Host Boston on Saturday night in the club’s second game in Salt Lake City.

Ducks: At Colorado on Friday night.
