Ducks Score Tying Goal with .01 Seconds Left to Win Third Straight 

The Pacific Division-leading Ducks (19-10-1, 39 points) defeated the Penguins in a shootout after scoring the latest game-tying goal in franchise history (second time). Anaheim’s 11 comeback wins are now tied for the NHL lead while the club is off to its best start since 2014-15 (19-6-5, 43 points).

Beckett Sennecke, who leads all NHL rookies in goals and points, scored with one second left in regulation, tied for the latest game-tying shorthanded goal in NHL history while he became the fourth player ever (first player since 2000 and second teenager ever) in league history to score a goal on a goaltender while shorthanded at 19:59 of the third period.

Sennecke’s goal tied Scott Niedermayer (59:59 on Nov. 21, 2008) for the latest game-tying goal in franchise history.

Sennecke became the first rookie in NHL history to score a game-tying goal in the final second of regulation while shorthanded, the seventh rookie to score a goal that late in regulation ever.

Sennecke added an assist in the first period (1-1=2), marking his third straight multi-point game. He is the first Ducks teenager with three consecutive multipoint games (3-3=6) and the third teenager in the NHL the last five years with three consecutive multi-point contests (also: Matvel Michkov, 3 games w/ PHI Nov. 30-Dec. 7 2024 and Will Smith, 3 games w/ SJS Nov. 25-29, 2024). Paul Kariya is the only Ducks rookie with more consecutive multi-point games (six straight in 1994).

Sennecke’s 10-16=26 points in 30 games makes him the fastest Ducks teenager to reach 25 or more points, surpassing Mason McTavish (25 points in 40 games in 2022-23).

Ville Husso stopped 44-of-47 shots and all three Pittsburgh shootout attempts to pick up his third straight win (3-0-0, 2.24 GAA and .920 SV%) and improve to 5-2-0 this season.
