Ryan Donato scored at 2:58 of overtime and added an assist while Spencer Knight made 38 saves to lift the host Chicago Blackhawks to a 2-1 victory against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.
Donato scored off Connor Bedard's feed from behind the net as Bedard corralled the rebound after Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal stopped his shot from the right circle.
The Blackhawks responded after Anaheim's Mason McTavish tied the game with a power-play goal with 35.8 seconds left, scoring on a wrist shot from the low left circle off a pass from Troy Terry. Jackson LaCombe, who had the secondary assist, hit the post moments earlier.
Frank Nazar netted the game's first goal at 9:43 of the third period, tapping a rebound past Dostal after Wyatt Kaiser rang a shot off the post.
Nazar started the play with a pass to Donato, who played the puck back to Nazar. Nazar fed the puck to Kaiser in the right circle, then scrambled to the net to gather the rebound and score.
Knight narrowly missed his sixth career shutout, unable to turn aside a 6-on-4 Anaheim rush for more than a minute following a delay of game penalty against Kaiser with 1:47 left.
Dostal stopped 28 shots for Anaheim, which has lost two straight.
Chicago finished 0-for-3 on the power play, stopping a streak of four straight games with a goal on the man advantage. The Ducks were 1-for-5 on the power play.
Anaheim outshot Chicago 23-16 through two periods and held the edge in scoring chances, too.
Leo Carlsson nearly gave the Ducks a 1-0 advantage late in the second, weaving through two Chicago defenders inside the blue line and putting a move on Knight. Carlsson hit the near post, however, as the puck caromed across the crease and the Blackhawks cleared.
The Blackhawks had a prime chance early in the first period when Ilya Mikheyev broke loose for a short-handed breakaway, but Dostal made the save.
Olen Zellweger led the Ducks with six shots on goal, one more than McTavish.
Chicago earned its first overtime win of the season after losing once in overtime and another time in a shootout.
