John Gibson made 51 saves for the Anaheim Ducks in a 3-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night in Raleigh, N.C.
Gibson has made at least 50 saves in a game three times this month.
John Klingberg, Jakob Silfverberg and Troy Terry scored and Trevor Zegras and Ryan Strome each had two assists for the Ducks, who were coming off a 4-2 win over the Capitals in Washington on Thursday that ended a six-game losing streak.
The Ducks also beat Carolina 4-3 in overtime on Dec. 6 in Anaheim.
Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jesper Fast scored third-period goals and Frederik Andersen made 12 saves for the Hurricanes, who had their five-game winning streak snapped.
Klingberg, who missed two games because of a lower-body injury, gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead at 16:18 of the second period. Zegras made a short pass to Klingberg coming into the play, and he scored on a one-timer from the right faceoff circle for his eighth goal of the season.
Carolina outshot the Ducks 22-5 in the second period.
Silfverberg scored for the second straight game off a feed from behind the net from Strome to move Anaheim ahead 2-0 at 4:06 of the third period.
Kotkaniemi scored 13 seconds later when he got behind the Anaheim defense and received a long pass from Jaccob Slavin to cut the lead to 2-1.
Terry answered with his second goal in two games since returning from a seven-game absence with an upper-body injury, extending the lead back to 3-1 at 12:01.
Cam Fowler assisted on the goal to become the first Anaheim defenseman to record 400 NHL points.
Carolina again quickly answered when Fast scored at 13:35 to make it 3-2.
The Hurricanes also outshot the Ducks 13-7 in the scoreless first period.
