Andrew Cogliano barely looked up from his locker stall. The Ducks winger is usually engaging, but his disappointment was palpable and his words concise after another stinging loss to rival Chicago.

“We should have won the game,” Cogliano said.

That theme echoed in an empty Ducks dressing room Friday after they couldn’t hold a two-goal lead with 1:14 to play in regulation and lost in overtime, 3-2, at Honda Center.

Artem Anisimov knocked in Brent Seabrook’s cross-ice pass during three-on-three play at 1:53 of overtime as the Blackhawks celebrated on the Ducks’ ice as they did in Game 7 of last season’s Western Conference finals.

A recap of that series: The Ducks lost in overtime in Games 2 and 4 before an epic collapse in Game 7.

This has gotten old for them.

“It stings,” Ryan Getzlaf said. “I don’t know so much that it was just because it was them other than we played hard for 60 minutes … to lose it like that is a little bit tough.”

The Ducks were set up for the win on goals by Cogliano and Chris Stewart, but the game turned on what appeared to be a questionable late tripping penalty on Getzlaf, who jabbed Chicago’s Andrew Shaw on the back of the leg and saw Shaw fall backward.

“There’s two minutes left and we’re trying to battle,” Getzlaf said. “I don’t think that’s a necessary call. It had nothing to do with the play. I just think it’s such a great hockey game. Both teams are playing so hard. To end it like that — I didn’t think it was necessary.”

Chicago’s Marian Hossa scored on the ensuing power play with the goalie also pulled for an extra attacker. Defenseman Duncan Keith tied it at 2-2 in six-on-five play with 26.6 seconds left in regulation.

Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau sharply critiqued his No. 1-ranked penalty-killing unit.

“We’ve got guys that were in the conference final last year that were on the ice,” Boudreau said. “We’ve got to have better composure. We’ve got to go to spots and make plays and not just throw it to them. That’s what we ended up doing in the last two minutes: panicking and throwing it to them.”

Ducks goalie John Gibson made 14 of his 29 saves in the second period, with impressive stops on Trevor Daley and Patrick Kane. The Ducks held the Blackhawks without a shot for the opening 10:55 of the third, but …

“You knew they were going to come eventually,” Gibson said. “They were going to get something. They found a way to do it.”

Cogliano signaled an energetic start with a breakaway goal 62 seconds into the game, a joyous moment soon forgotten. The Ducks are winless in four games against Chicago since they took a 3-2 series lead last spring.

“They won the Stanley Cup for a reason,” Cogliano said. “That’s simple as that. But … we’re up 2-0, keeping their top guys off the score sheet. We basically just lost it at the end, and that was it.”

Kane extended his point streak to 18 games, tied for the third-longest in Blackhawks history.
