LaCombe scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.

With 18 seconds remaining in the third period, the Ducks were down 3-2, had just lost a faceoff back in their defensive zone and were down a man in a power play for the Pittsburgh Penguins. A half-hour later, they were celebrating one of the most bizarre wins of the season, 4-3 in a shootout.

Already without the injured Lukáš Dostál and Petr Mrázek, the Ducks look to stay atop the Pacific Division as the Mammoth come to town.

The game was tight, but Husso has allowed a lot of goals in his last two starts (0-1-1). He allowed nine goals in that span and at least four snipes in four of his eight starts. Husso will resume his role as back-up now that Lukas Dostal has returned from injury (and looked sharp).

Gauthier and Zellweger beat Knight on two of Anaheim’s first three shots, giving the Ducks a 2-0 lead 47 seconds in. Kreider’s off-the-skate deflection upped it to 3-0 at 10:25. Bertuzzi cut it to 3-1 with 2:03 left in the first, deflecting in a power-play score. Greene made it 3-2 at 6:43 of the second, finishing a two-on-one-break with Bedard.

For 59 minutes and 58 seconds on Tuesday, it looked like a Pittsburgh Penguins' resounding victory over the Anaheim Ducks was a given.
