Better make that 1,001.

One game after the Anaheim Ducks won and gave coach Joel Quenneville his one thousandth career win, the Orange County team gave him another present: a stirring come-from-behind 6-5 overtime win in Anaheim over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night.

Trailing 2-0, the Ducks rallied to tie the game and won it in extra time for their fourth win in a row. With the victory, they’re 32-23-3 and in second place in the NHL Pacific and fifth in the NHL Western Conference.

Anaheim got goals from Ryan Poehling, Chris Kreider, Leo Carlsson, Jacob Trouba and Pavel Mintyukov. Lukas Dostal made 29 saves in goal.

Kreider scored the game-winning goal off a pass from Beckett Sennecke. It was the Ducks 11th win in 13 games.
“I think we just have that belief in ourselves that we were never out of it,” Sennecke said, “and I think that’s kind of the biggest thing in these comeback wins is we never think we’re out of it, and we know we can score goals.”

The Ducks are next in action on Sunday, hosting the Calgary Flames (24-27-6).
