Troy Terry led the Ducks with a goal and two assists as Anaheim lost to the Vancouver Canucks in a wild game 8-5 on Thursday.
Henrique tied it with 1:28 left in the third period with Stolarz pulled to push the game to overtime.
McTavish had pulled the Ducks to 4-3 about 2½ minutes earlier with his third career goal after he got a breakaway on a pass from Dmitry Kulikov.
Labanc scored his second goal of the season at 3:54 of the first period while attempting to find Meier on a two-on-one. Ducks defenseman John Klingberg was trying to block the pass but ended up deflecting the puck into his own net.

Meier tied it at 8:09 of the second with his fifth, and Kunin’s power-play goal with 3:25 left gave the Sharks the lead again. The Ducks challenged Kunin’s goal for offside but it stood after a review.
