Key Highlights
- Vegas has gone on two five-game skids since Christmas, with an 8-2-0 surge sandwiched between them. Tomas Hertl scored with 6 seconds to play and Adin Hill stopped 19 shots for Vegas. Kreider put Anaheim up 2-0 with his first multigoal game since Nov.
- 6 for the Ducks, who acquired him last June from the New York Rangers. He opened the scoring late in the first when a puck from Poehling hit his leg and went in.
- He tipped home his 19th goal early in the second.

Marner took advantage of a lucky deflection when Mark Stone's pass from behind the net ricocheted off two Ducks and went straight to him. Vegas took control in the third period, and Barbashev tapped home a stationary puck in the crease after Dostal couldn't smother Jack Eichel's shot. Anaheim right wing Troy Terry returned from an 11-game absence with an upper-body injury, and center Mason McTavish also returned after missing five games. The Ducks had their eighth consecutive sellout as they returned from a five-game road trip to begin a nine-game homestand.
