ANAHEIM, California (Reuters):

THE ANAHEIM Ducks grabbed a pair of third-period goals to claim a stunning 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators on Monday night, drawing first blood in the Stanley Cup finals.

Trailing 2-1 entering the third period, the Ducks got goals from Ryan Getzlaf and the game-winner from Travis Moen to steal Game One of the best-of-seven series.

The Ducks, who lost the 2003 Stanley Cup finals in seven games to the New Jersey Devils, will look to take a 2-0 series lead when they host Game Two tonight.

"I saw the puck and it was kind of bouncing and I got lucky and caught it on the way down, got a lucky shot and it went in," Moen said.

"It was huge to go up 3-2 with a couple of minutes left. I think every kid dreams of scoring a goal to win a game in a Stanley Cup final.

"It's something special and something I will never forget."

Early momentum

The Senators, trying to bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada for the first time since Montreal won it in 1993, started the brighter and took the lead with a powerplay goal just 98 seconds into the game.

Mike Fisher's slap shot deflected off Ducks netminder Jean-Sebastien Giguere and looped high in the air before dropping just inside the post to give the Sens a 1-0 lead.

The early momentum was all with the well-rested Senators who were playing their first game since capturing the Eastern Conference crown nine days ago.

But a combination of slack play from the Sens and some fierce Anaheim checking allowed the Ducks to get back into the game.

"It's not so much what they did, it's what we didn't do," said the Senators' Jason Spezza.

"We probably turned the puck over more tonight than we have the entire play-offs."

The Ducks restored parity midway through the first period when Andy McDonald took a pass in the slot from Teemu Selanne and pounded the puck past Ottawa goalie Ray Emery to bring the capacity crowd at the Honda Center to its feet.

Anaheim were left to rue another moment of indiscipline when Getzlaf took a penalty for cross-checking early in the second period and Wade Redden scored to give Ottawa a 2-1 lead.

However, the Anaheim forward made amends five minutes into the third period with a superb individual effort, tucking the puck between Emery's pads after the Senators had turned the puck over in the neutral zone.

That set the stage for Moen to seal the win, the winger slapping a bouncing puck past Emery with 2:51 left on the clock.
