ANAHEIM, Calif. – Just when you thought things couldn't get worse after the Anaheim Ducks' third-period collapse to the last-place Vancouver Canucks, Tage Thompson and the Buffalo Sabres stormed into Orange County.
After an early 3-1 Ducks lead, the Buffalo Sabres scored six consecutive goals, including a Thompson hat trick, to extend Anaheim's home woes and hold off the Ducks, 7-6, on Thursday at Honda Center.
Anaheim (5-7-1, 11 points) has now lost seven of its last eight games and have started just 1-4-1 at home. Ducks have allowed 21 goals in their last four games, 29 goals in their last six games and 36 in the last eight games. Anaheim is 1-6-1 in that stretch.
Mikael Granlund and Cutter Gauthier opened the scoring on a five-on-three power play, and Roger McQueen netted his first career NHL goal later in the third period.
Gauthier collected a second power play goal in the third period. Tristan Luneau and Beckett Sennecke scored with the extra attacker late.
