Last Gasp Victory at Anaheim

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Peter Douris scored with 40 seconds left in overtime as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim made their 1994-95 home debut with a dramatic 5-4 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.


Anaheim's Joe Sacco scored with 1:34 remaining in regulation to send the game into overtime. Sacco took the puck in the right corner, circled in front and beat Ranford inside the right post.


Sacco's goal came 46 seconds after Kirk Maltby's goal had given Edmonton a 4-3 lead. Tom Kurvers scored two goals for Anaheim, and rookie Paul Kariya had a goal and an assist.


The Ducks' victory before a sellout crowd of 17,174 overshadowed a two-goal performance by Edmonton's Roman Oksiuta, and three assists by Oilers' teammate Mike Stapleton.


Bruins 2, Rangers 1. Rookie goaltender Blaine Lacher, playing in only his third professional game, turned in his second strong performance and Don Sweeney scored the go-ahead goal in the third period as the Boston Bruins defeated the New York Rangers 2-1 Monday night.


Penguins 6, Panthers 5. In Miami, Joe Mullen had two goals and an assist as Pittsburgh scored three times in a 3:23 span of the third period to post a come-from-behind victory.


Jets 5, Blackhawks 3. In Winnipeg, Manitoba, goalie Tim Cheveldae stopped 40 shots in Winnipeg's first win of the season. The Jets were outshot 43-20.


Winnipeg (1-1-1) had goals from Thomas Steen, Keith Tkachuk, Alexei Zhamnov, Stephane Quintal and Teemu Selanne. Scoring for Chicago (0-2-0) were Patrick Poulin, Joe Murphy and Gary Suter.


Tkachuk was thrown out of the game in the second period for fighting.
