Cutter Gauthier’s second goal of the game came 1:52 into overtime as the Anaheim Ducks spoiled a special day for the Carolina Hurricanes by winning 3-2 on Sunday in Raleigh, N.C.

Jansen Harkins scored his first goal of the season and goalie Lukas Dostal made 35 saves for the Ducks, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

Andrei Svechnikov and Seth Jarvis had Carolina’s goals. Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 17 shots, but it wasn’t enough on a day when former team captain Eric Staal had his No. 12 jersey retired.

Jarvis scored with 56 seconds remaining in regulation when the Hurricanes went with an extra skater to force the extra session. Jarvis has four goals in the last five games.

For Gauthier, the performance was likely a relief after he was met with a hostile crowd a night earlier in Philadelphia, where Flyers fans expressed displeasure with the team’s former draftee. Gauthier requested a trade out of Philadelphia before ever playing for the team.

Dostal notched his first victory in three January outings. Still, the Ducks haven’t won a game in regulation on the road in their last 11 tries.

Harkins’ goal came as he skated down the slot without the Hurricanes paying much attention to him. Nikita Nesterenko delivered the pass to set up Harkins’ shot.

It was a relief for the Ducks, who were shutout victims for the first time this season Saturday night.

Gauthier scored 1:18 into the third period for a 2-0 lead.

Svechnikov scored a power-play goal 7:48 into the third period. That came shortly after the Hurricanes had a would-be goal wiped out because of a goalie interference call when the Ducks challenged with a video review.

The Hurricanes outshot Anaheim 21-10 through two periods and by 36-19 through the end of regulation.

The Hurricanes had defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere back in the lineup after an eight-game injury absence.
