Quenneville's 1,000th Win: Ducks Rally Past Oilers 6-5

Anaheim Ducks head coach Joel Quenneville reached an incredible milestone, securing his 1,000th NHL career victory during a thrilling 6-5 win against the Connor McDavid-led Edmonton Oilers.

Quenneville now stands with Scotty Bowman as the only coaches in NHL history to achieve four-digit wins. His current record is 1,000-595-153. The Ducks coach emphasized that his primary focus was on the team's performance and their pursuit of a postseason spot, rather than the personal achievement.

The game itself was a nail-biter, with the Oilers holding a commanding 4-2 lead heading into the third period. However, the Ducks mounted a significant comeback, tying the game at 5-5. Cutter Gauthier ultimately secured the win for Anaheim, capitalizing on a rebound off Leo Carlsson's shot.
