ANAHEIM Thomas Hickey Jersey Womens , Calif. (AP) — Cam Fowler joked it had been a long, long time between scoring hat tricks.The Anaheim Ducks couldn’t have been blamed for feeling that way about winning, too.Fowler completed his first career hat trick 36 seconds into overtime to help the Ducks end a seven-game losing streak, 3-2 over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday night.“It was a product of being in the right place at the right time tonight, and I’ll take it,” the defenseman said. “I’m not complaining, but the main thing is our team found a way to win the game and kind of find a way to get off this losing streak. That was the main thing that came out of tonight’s game.”John Gibson made 24 saves for the Ducks, who had been 0-5-2 since defeating the New York Islanders 4-1 on Oct. 17.Pierre-Luc Dubois scored twice for the Blue Jackets, who lost the final two games of their three-game California road trip. Joonas Korpisalo made 27 saves.Fowler scored on a one-timer from Adam Henrique to end Anaheim’s losing skid. It was Fowler’s 56th career goal, tying Francois Beauchemin for second-most by a Anaheim defenseman all-time.Fowler also became the seventh defenseman in NHL history to cap a hat trick with an overtime winner. Anaheim defensemen are responsible for the past three such hat tricks, with Hampus Lindholm doing so on Dec. 21 John Tavares Jersey , 2017 and Lubomir Visnovsky on March 4, 2011.Dubois earned a point for Columbus by scoring with 31.3 seconds remaining in the third period to tie the game at 2, but Fowler said the Ducks did not get down on themselves after conceding late.“It sounds silly, but it was pretty positive,” Fowler said. “We’ve been through a lot as a team right now and I think it shows a lot about our group because we didn’t panic. We played a great hockey game, it would have been easy to get a little bit down after giving up a late goal like that. But luckily we regrouped and found a way to get a big two points.”Henrique and Ducks coach Randy Carlyle each praised Fowler for his leadership and offensive contributions, which took on an added importance after captain Ryan Getzlaf was a late scratch because of an upper-body injury.Fowler scored twice in the second period, tying it at 1 at 9:09 during 4-on-4 play and putting the Ducks ahead 2-1 at 18:26. He has three goals and two assists during a three-game point streak.“You can’t put a bigger exclamation mark on Cam Fowler than what he was able to accomplish tonight,” Carlyle said. “I’m not saying he’s going to score three goals in every hockey game, but he drives a lot of puck possession and he’s got a lot of responsibility on the power play. On the other side, we ask him to play defense and defense is hard work.”Getzlaf is considered day to day Authentic Jordan Eberle Jersey , but Carlyle did not know if he would be available to play at Los Angeles on Tuesday.The Blue Jackets ended up earning three of a possible six points during the road trip, which coach John Tortorella considered a positive result for a team he said is lacking in confidence right now.“Anything offensively will help us, and that’s a big point,” Tortorella said. “We leave the California trip .500 with a team that has zero confidence, so we’ll take those points and just try to keep on building ourselves up.”The power play has been the most visible representation of Columbus’ recent struggles, as the Blue Jackets went 0 for 6 with the man-advantage and are 2 for 38 in their past 10 games. Artemin Panarin appeared to have scored a power-play goal early in the third period, but it came immediately after Alexander Wennberg tripped Ducks defenseman Jacob Larsson.Tortorella thought it was a sign of progress that the Blue Jackets were able to put the puck in the net, even if it was waived off.“We had opportunities to score, had a couple of rebound chances that we just missed,” Tortorella said. “Yeah, if they score a goal Josh Bailey Jersey , sure it helps us. But we’ll take baby steps right now as far as just having them feel the puck and feel comfortable making plays. It’s a crazy dynamic with athletes. You just don’t know, so we got to try to help them.”NOTES: Carlyle got his 460th win, tying Roger Neilson for 30th-most in NHL history. … Blue Jackets D Seth Jones played in his 400th NHL game and had two assists. … The Ducks allowed three shots in the first period, their fewest in any period in regulation this season. Anaheim had allowed at least 16 shots in the first period in each of its first 14 games.UP NEXTBlue Jackets: Return home to host the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.Ducks: Visit the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday. WINNIPEG, Manitoba — It might be a little early, but this week’s home-and-home series between the Winnipeg Jets and the Toronto Maple Leafs could be for the title of Canada’s team.It has been more than a quarter-century since the captain of a Canadian-based squad has lifted the Stanley Cup over his head and it’s been a thorn in the side of a proud hockey nation ever since.The hostilities between the Jets and Leafs, the two highest-ranked Canadian teams by virtually all prognosticators, will kick off Wednesday night at Bell MTS Place and conclude on Saturday night at Scotiabank Arena.Article continues below ...The Jets have the best home record in the NHL since the beginning of the 2017-18 season with a more than .800 winning percentage and are 4-0-1 on their current six-game homestand. They haven’t lost in regulation on home ice since Feb. 27, a span of 15 games (14-0-1).The Leafs (6-3-0), meanwhile, have cooled a little since blasting out the gate with six wins in their first seven games Brady Skjei Jersey , but they still have a perfect 4-0-0 record on the road. The Jets lead the head-to-head battle against the Maple Leafs since the start of the 2016-2017 season with a 2-1-1 record.The Jets are 6-2-1 overall in the ultra-competitive Central Division, where they trail both the Nashville Predators and the upstart Colorado Avalanche.The Jets overcame a 3-1 third-period deficit to defeat the St. Louis Blues 5-4 in overtime on Monday.Center Mark Scheifele, who led the way with four points, including two goals, said the Jets will have to get out of the gate much faster against the Leafs.“We battled the puck early (against St. Louis),” Scheifele told The Winnipeg Sun. “That third period, we pretty much said, ‘screw it. Let’s have fun and battle and work for each other here.’ It turned out. It worked for us. It just shows that any game is in reach if you play the right way. That third period, we played Winnipeg Jets hockey. We were on the puck, we were working hard. We were battling for each other. That’s how you win games in this league.”The Leafs have scored one goal in their last two games, including a 4-1 loss against those same Blues last Saturday. Center Auston Matthews http://www.officialblackhawksproshop.com/authentic-adidas-artem-anisimov-jersey , who leads the league in scoring with 16 points and goals with 10, will undoubtedly be the subject of good-natured cat-calls from Jets fans. For example, in his first game two years ago against Patrik Laine, who was drafted No. 2 behind Matthews in 2016, they serenaded him with “Laine’s better.” (Lai-ne’s be-tter.)“It’s always a good atmosphere (in Winnipeg), the crowd gets into it,” Matthews said in a scrum after practice on Tuesday. “They’re a good team, a lot of depth and their power play is pretty lethal. You don’t want to give them momentum.”
