The Ducks can't keep up with the Colorado Avalanche in overtime

Nathan MacKinnon scored with 40.1 seconds left in overtime and the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Ducks 4-3 on Friday night to earn their first win of the season.

Ross Colton scored two goals, both in the third period, and Casey Mittelstadt, playing in his 200th consecutive game, also scored his 200th career point with a goal for the Avalanche. Alexandar Georgiev had 16 saves.

Leo Carlsson, Ryan Strome and Troy Terry scored for the Ducks. Lukas Dostal finished with 45 saves.

Terry scored with 12.6 seconds left in regulation to make the score 3-3.

Ducks to take away: Anaheim continues to struggle to convert on the power play, going 0-for-3 and 0-14 this season.

Key moment: After trailing 2-0, Colorado finally broke through offensively when Mittelstadt capped a breakaway with a backhand shot that sailed over Dostal's glove hand and into the net. Nikolai Kovalenko triggered the breakaway with a pass that the attacking Mittelstädter caught and fired into the net, igniting the Colorado offense.

Key Stats: The Avalanche were three for three on the penalty kill and one for six on the power play.

Next: The Ducks return home to host the Kings on Sunday night while the Avalanche visit San Jose.
