It ended with a team scrum at the side boards. The Ducks practically needed to hold each other up because of exhaustion and exhilaration.
The hero? Corey Perry, who took a pass from longtime linemate Ryan Getzlaf and slipped the puck past Edmonton Oilers goalie Cam Talbot 6:57 into the second overtime Friday night to give the Ducks a 4-3 win in Game 5 of their second-round playoff series.
Perry scored on the Ducks’ 64th shot and Anaheim pulled off an incredible rally to take a 3-2 series lead with Game 6 on Sunday in Edmonton.
