SALT LAKE CITY — Mason McTavish was the only scorer in the shootout and the Ducks rallied from a three-goal deficit, beating the Utah Hockey Club, 5-4, on Sunday. Robby Fabbri scored twice and Isac Lundestrom and Brett Leason also scored in regulation for the Ducks, who won for the third time in four games after a five-game skid. Lukas Dostal finished with 21 saves. Clayton Keller had two goals and two assists, Barrett Hayton had a goal and an assist, Logan Cooley also scored and Jaxson Stauber made 26 saves in his third start of the season for Utah, which had its four-game winning streak end, but extended its point streak to eight games (6-0-2). Lundestrom began the comeback when he scored off a backdoor feed from Olen Zellweger to cut the deficit to 4-2 at 10:49 of the second period. The Ducks failed to take advantage of a 5-on-3 for 52 seconds early in the third period before cutting the margin to 4-3 at 12:35. Fabbri was credited with his second goal after he was the last to touch the puck before Stauber inadvertently knocked it across the goal line while trying to cover it. The Ducks were 0 for 5 on the power play when Leason scored with a wrist shot from the slot with the man-advantage to tie it 4-4 with 4:45 left in regulation. Keller was credited with the goal that gave Utah a 1-0 lead just 86 seconds into the first period and the hosts never trailed in regulation. Juuso Valimaki sent a wrist shot from the point that was deflected on the way to the net by Keller. Dostal made a pad save, but the rebound went off the skate of Zellweger and into his own net. Fabbri sprung loose on a 2-on-1 break with McTavish and elected to shoot the puck, scoring on the short side to tie the score at 1-1 at 4:56 of the first. The teams were skating 4-on-4 when Hayton received a pass from Keller in front of the Ducks’ net, spun and slid the puck through the Dostal’s pads to give Utah a 2-1 lead at 16:09 of the first.
