The Anaheim Ducks are trying to keep their focus on the ice, where they have a five-game winning streak, and not the NHL’s latest investigation into workplace misconduct in the front office. Longtime Ducks executive vice president and general manager Bob Murray was placed on leave Tuesday amid an ongoing investigation into verbal mistreatment of staff.

The Ducks didn’t seem to be affected on the ice Tuesday in extending their point streak to seven games (5-0-2). Troy Terry got his name on the scoresheet for the league-leading 12th consecutive game and also netted the winner in OT. John Gibson made 41 saves.

The Kraken have lost four of their past five games, including a 4-2 defeat Tuesday at Las Vegas. The Kraken took a lead on Yanni Gourde’s goal in the final minute of the second period, but the Golden Knights responded 15 seconds later and then scored twice more in the opening 1:16 of the third.

The tying goal after Gourde’s tally was the sixth time the Kraken have allowed an opponent to respond within two minutes of one of their goals. “For me, (the Vegas goal to tie it 2-2) was a response shift after a great shift and a goal is scored at the end of the second period,” Kraken coach Dave Hakstol said. “We have to go into the second intermission up by one. That’s a goal we can’t give up.”
