Sports: Ducks lose but pick up a point

The Anaheim Ducks, still last in the NHL Pacific Division, lost 4-3 to the Florida Panthers Monday night but at least picked up a point because the loss came in overtime.

The Ducks jumped out to a 2-0 first quarter lead on goals by Mason McTavish and Frank Vatrano. Panthers rallied for two goals in the second period to knot the score at 2-2.

Dmitry Kulikov gave Anaheim the lead again at 12:51 of the third period, but Ryan Lomberg tied it up for Florida at 14:09.

That sent it into OT and Carter Verhaeghe tallied for the Panthers at 1:42 to give the home team the win.

The Ducks are now 17-22-7, worth 41 points. The Panthers are 29-25-6 (64 points) and in fourth place in the NHL Atlantic Division.
