Richard Rakell broke a tie with 3:30 left and the Anaheim Ducks overcame a three-goal deficit to beat the Arizona Coyotes 5-4 on Thursday night in the season opener for both teams.

Corey Perry scored twice and set up Andrew Coglino's tying goal with 6:15 remaining.

Arizona scored a pair of power-play goals in the second period to take a 4-1 lead.

The second power-play goal came after Perry knocked down Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue behind the net. That led to a wild scuffle that lasted long enough for Anaheim goalie John Gibson to slowly skate down to the red line.
