Jonathan Huberdeau scored at 3:41 of overtime to lift the Florida Panthers over the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 on Tuesday night for their eighth straight victory.

Anthony Duclair scored twice for the Eastern Conference leaders, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 22 saves.

Derek Grant and Troy Terry scored for the Ducks. John Gibson stopped 52 shots in an incredible effort that went for naught.

Huberdeau flipped the puck into the corner of the net from in front to give the Panthers their only lead.

"We ran into a hot goalie; he was playing well. Overall, it was a pretty good game," Huberdeau said. "We put up 55 shots, at some point it’s going to go in."

Gibson stopped Huberdeau’s initial shot from in front, but the All-Star forward was able to flip in the rebound.

"I did my best. One lucky bounce, then they make a nice play," Gibson said. "They’re a good team. When you give them a chance they’re going to bury them, and they did there."

Duclair’s second goal came on the power play and tied the game at 2 with 9:51 left in the third period. Sam Reinhart passed across the crease to Duclair and he poked in the puck on Gibson’s glove side.

Duclair reached 30 goals for the first time.

"Awesome feeling," he said. "It’s something I’m not going to take for granted. I’m just really excited about it."
