CHICAGO — The Ducks found some momentum during a back-to-back set on the road.
Alex Killorn had a goal and an assist in the third period, and the Ducks beat the Chicago Blackhawks, 3-2, on Tuesday night for their season-high third straight win.
Killorn tied it at 2-all on a well-placed backhanded shot 5:10 into the final frame. Then he made a perfect pass to Leo Carlsson for a backdoor tap-in with 10:22 left.
Pavel Mintyukov also scored for the Ducks (8-8-2, 18 points), who won in Dallas on Monday night and have won four of their past five games overall. Trevor Zegras had two assists, and John Gibson made 18 saves.
Chicago (6-12-1, 13 points) lost for the fifth time in six games. Connor Bedard set up each of Jason Dickinson’s two goals, and Arvid Soderblom made 21 stops.
Soderblom was pulled in favor of an extra attacker with about 1:40 left in regulation, but Ryan Donato was denied by Gibson with about a minute remaining.
The Blackhawks jumped in front on Dickinson’s one-timer with 2:57 left in the first. He made it 2-1 when he got his fourth goal of the year 3:54 into the second.
Chicago won, 4-2, in the teams’ first meeting of the season on Nov. 3 at Honda Center.
A couple new forward combinations looked pretty good for Chicago, but the Blackhawks have managed just seven regulation goals in the last six games.
The 19-year-old Bedard has 51 assists in 87 career games. He is the fourth teenager in franchise history to record 50 career assists, joining Eddie Olczyk (80), Patrick Kane (65) and Bobby Hull (53).
The Ducks return home to take on the Buffalo Sabres on Friday at 7 p.m.
