Sergei Fedorov scored 29 seconds into overtime to lift the Mighty Ducks past Phoenix, 3-2, Tuesday night, extending the Coyotes’ winless streak to 13 games.

Fedorov beat Brent Johnson with a hard wrist shot from the slot.

The puck bounced off Johnson’s glove, ducked under the crossbar and shot back out of the net, causing the play to be reviewed by the officials.

Garrett Burnett scored the first goal of his career, Cam Severson also scored and Ilja Bryzgalov made 26 saves in his first start for the Ducks, who ended a four-game skid.

“NHL games and AHL games are a bit different,” Bryzgalov said. “Here you need a little bit more concentration.”

Severson had given the Ducks a 2-1 lead with a power-play goal at 11:54 of the second period, chipping a rebound of his own shot past Johnson for his third goal.

The goal came with three seconds left in an extended four-minute power play after a double-minor penalty on Daniel Cleary.

“If you go out and work hard it’s amazing,” Duck Coach Mike Babcock said. “Since the trade deadline we’ve been struggling to find a way to win.”

Shane Doan scored his team-leading 24th goal for the Coyotes, who are 0-8-2-3 in their last 13 games and 2-16-3-4 since consecutive victories over San Jose and Detroit in late January.

Burnett put the Ducks ahead, 1-0, at 13:39 of the first period when he redirected a shot by Lance Ward past Johnson.
