via Ducks PR department,
The Ducks are the first NHL team in nearly 14 years to force overtime in a game where they trailed by two goals with 21 seconds (or less) remaining in regulation. The last team to do so was San Jose, which trailed 3-1 vs. Los Angeles with 20 seconds remaining on Apr. 4, 2004 (won 4-3 in overtime). Remarkably, one player also scored both goals in the final moments in that game (Brad Stuart at 19:40 and 19:57). Rickard Rakell’s two goals tonight came at 19:39 and 19:53 to force overtime, which also completed his first career hat trick.
Rakell and Stuart are the ONLY two players to score both goals in such a situation since the 1967-68 NHL season.
