Patrick Kane scored his second goal of the game on a breakaway with a minute left in overtime and the Detroit Red Wings beat Anaheim 5-4 on Sunday night to end the Ducks’ four-game winning streak.

Cutter Gauthier scored twice, including the tying goal on a backhand from the high slot with 53 seconds left. Ryan Strome and Olen Zellweger also scored for the Ducks, who trailed 3-0 and 4-1 before scoring twice in the final 2:16 of regulation with Lukas Dostal pulled for an extra skater.

Leo Carlsson scores in overtime to give the Ducks a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins and extend their winning streak to four games.

Dostal made 31 saves and was backed up by Oscar Dansk, who was recalled on an emergency basis with John Gibson day to day with an upper-body injury, the team announced.

Marco Kasper, Alex DeBrincat and Kane scored during the first 5:06 of the game, the fastest any team has scored three goals this season. Michael Rasmussen added a power-play goal for Detroit, which squandered a late two-goal lead and improved to 8-1-1 in its last 10 games. Alex Lyon made 24 saves.

Anaheim had allowed just six goals during its four-game streak. The Ducks gave up more than four goals for the first time in 14 games after a poor start in which Isac Lundestrom and Brian Dumoulin were sent to the penalty box at 4:21 of the first for tripping penalties.

DeBrincat converted during the five-on-three advantage, knocking in a rebound of a Dylan Larkin shot. Kane scored from the high slot during the subsequent five-on-four advantage, giving Detroit a 3-0 lead.

Detroit converted on three of four power plays. Their power play, ranked second in the league, has produced 50 goals. Only Winnipeg (51) has scored more with the man advantage.
