VANCOUVER — Nicolas Deslauriers and Adam Henrique each scored twice for the Anaheim Ducks in a 7-4 win against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena on Saturday.

Trevor Zegras had three assists, and John Gibson made 16 saves and had an assist for the Ducks (24-19-9), who ended a four-game skid (0-3-1).  

Elias Pettersson had a goal and two assists for the Canucks (23-22-6), who pulled Thatcher Demko 4:20 into the second period after he allowed five goals on 14 shots. Jaroslav Halak made nine saves in relief. 

Troy Terry gave Anaheim a 1-0 lead on a deflection 57 seconds into the first period before Deslauriers made it 2-0 at 3:23 by redirecting a pass out of the corner to the top of the crease.

Rickard Rakell made it 3-0 at 14:08 with a power-play point shot that deflected off Canucks forward Juho Lammikko in the slot. 

Henrique increased the lead to 4-0 at 1:35 of the second period on a rebound on a power play, and Sam Steel pushed it to 5-0 at 4:20 on a scramble two seconds after another power play ended. 

Tanner Pearson cut it to 5-1 at 4:52 with a one-timer from the bottom of the face-off circle and Pettersson made it 5-2 at 15:47 with a one- timer on a power play. 

Henrique put the Ducks ahead 6-2 at 16:50 by shoveling the puck over the line and under defenseman Luke Schenn as he dove to try and keep it out after a Zegras shot hit the post and deflected off Halak towards the goal. 

Deslauriers scored from the slot 3:49 into the third period to make it 7-2. 

Conor Garland pulled Vancouver within 7-3 at 10:41 from a sharp angle and Quinn Hughes scored on a screened point shot at 16:28 for the 7-4 final.
