NHL Playoff scoreboard from Saturday

Ducks skate past the Flames, Leafs beat Capitals in double OT, Predators pound Hawks, Senators beat Bruins.

NAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Ryan Getzlaf scored the tiebreaking power-play goal with 4:46 to play on a bizarre deflection off Lance Bouma’s skate, and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Calgary Flames 3-2 Saturday night to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.

Getzlaf’s attempted pass across the high slot banked off Bouma’s foot and somehow arched through the air and past Calgary’s Brian Elliott for the Anaheim captain’s second goal of the series.

Jakob Silfverberg and Rickard Rakell scored first-period goals and John Gibson made 35 saves in the Ducks’ 29th consecutive victory over the Flames at Honda Center since April 25, 2006, extending the longest such streak in NHL history.

Mikael Backlund scored a short-handed goal and Sean Monahan had a power-play goal for the Flames.

Game 3 is Monday in Calgary.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Kasperi Kapanen scored his second goal of the game 11:53 into the second overtime and Frederik Andersen made 47 saves and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Washington Capitals 4-3 Saturday night in Game 2 to even the first-round series.

Kapanen also scored in regulation for Toronto along with James van Riemsdyk and Morgan Rielly, and Andersen made several big stops and keep the Maple Leafs alive.

Alex Ovechkin, John Carlson and Nicklas Backstrom scored for the top-seeded Capitals, who are now feeling the heat going into Game 3 Monday in Toronto. Braden Holtby made 48 saves before being beaten on the overtime winner.

Not unraveling in a tough atmosphere, the young Maple Leafs showed they belonged on the same ice with the Capitals after losing Game 1 in OT.

UNDATED (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks could be making an early exit in the Stanley Cup playoffs after finishing with the best record in the Western Conference. In fact, they have yet to score in the postseason.

Pekka Rinne (PEH’-kuh REE’-nay) recorded his second straight shutout by making 30 saves in Nashville’s 5-0 rout of the Hawks in Chicago. Ryan Ellis put the Predators ahead just 3:44 into the game before they scored twice in each of the next two periods.

Ryan Johansen had a goal and two assists for the Predators, who have outscored the Blackhawks, 6-0 in the first two games.

Game 3 is Monday in Nashville.

In other Stanley Cup playoff action:

— The Ottawa Senators stormed back from a 3-1, third-period deficit to beat the visiting Boston Bruins, 4-3 in overtime. The Bruins had just killed off a penalty when Dion Phaneuf (fah-NOOF’) scored 1:59 into the extra session to cap the comeback. Chris Wideman and Derick Brassard tallied 2:20 apart to erase Boston’s two-goal deficit. Clarke MacArthur also scored for the Senators, who head to Boston for Game 3 on Monday.

— The Capitals and Maple Leafs were tied 3-3 going into double-overtime. Nicklas Backstrom tied it for the top-seeded Capitals with 7:21 left in regulation. The Caps lead the series 1-0.

Around the NHL:

— Blue Jackets forward Matt Calvert has received a one-game suspension for his cross-check to Pittsburgh’s Tom Kuhnhackl late in the third period of Friday’s Game 2 loss to the Penguins. Calvert will sit out Sunday’s game.
