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.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
