Landeskog's OT tally lifts Avs past Duck

Teemu Selanne scored a power-play goal with 3:52 left in the third period to tie the game 2-2 and pass his idol, Jari Kurri, into sole possession of 19th place on the NHL all-time scoring list with 1,399 points. Selanne also passed Kurri to become the NHL's all-time leading scorer from Finland.

"I couldn't be more proud that Teemu is the all-time top NHL scorer from Finland," Kurri said in a statement released by the Ducks. "Congratulations to a great player, a great friend and an even better person."

Selanne was in the right faceoff circle when he ripped a shot over sprawling goalie Semyon Varlamov 16 seconds after Colorado's Shane O'Brien went off for interfering with Jason Blake.

Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller kept the game tied 35 seconds later when he robbed Ryan O'Reilly with a glove save on a clean breakaway.

Kevin Porter put the Avalanche in front 2-1 with 6:47 to play with his first goal since Dec. 29. Cody McLeod chased down the puck into the left corner and passed it back to defenseman Jan Hejda. He took a shot from the left point and Porter deflected it through traffic.

Varlamov was keeping the Avalanche in front until, with 2.5 seconds left in the second period, Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin scored from the edge of the crease to forge a 1-1 tie.

Avalanche defenseman Ryan O'Byrne turned the puck over deep in Colorado ice to the Ducks' Cam Fowler. He took a shot, Bobby Ryan got his stick on the puck and Beauchemin chipped it into the net.

The Avalanche went on a power play 10 seconds into the third period when Ducks center Saku Koivu, playing in his 1,000th NHL game, went off for interfering with Paul Stastny. Erik Johnson blasted a shot that got past Hiller, but Beauchemin cleared it before it crossed the goal line.

Varlamov turned aside 14 of 15 shots in the second period while Hiller stopped all 11 shots he faced. Hiller made a save against McLeod early in the period and did the same against Jamie McGinn on a 2-on-1 break. Varlamov's best stop came against Selanne from the side of the net while he was down.

McGinn gave the Avalanche a 1-0 lead at 10:48 of the first period with his fifth goal in the past five games. McGinn has five goals and two assists in seven games since his Feb. 28 acquisition from Tampa Bay. His 17 goals and 31 points are career highs.

McGinn scored from the right faceoff circle after Hiller made a stop against defenseman Jan Hejda, who took a shot from the left point. The Avalanche gained possession of a long rebound and O'Byrne passed to McGinn above the faceoff dot.

The Ducks played without leading goal-scorer Corey Perry, who suffered a right shoulder injury Saturday against Dallas. Perry had played in 272 consecutive games.
