More milestones from Wednesday’s win.

Teemu Selanne’s 1,200th point wasn’t the only major imprint the Ducks left in the record book Wednesday.


The rest of the rundown:

Selanne became the 45th player in NHL history to reach the milestone and only the sixth player born outside North America to reach the mark. He has also tied Dino Ciccarelli for 44th place on the all-time points list with tonight’s goal. Selanne now has sole possession of 18th place on the NHL’s all-time goals list, passing Mike Bossy at 573. In addition, his OT goal accounted for the 205th power play goal of his career, passing Wayne Gretzky at 204 and now shares 11th place on the NHL’s all-time power play goals list with Joe Sakic (also 205). It was also the ninth OT goal of his career with the last taking place on Feb. 15, 2007 at Phoenix (5-4).

With 1-1=2 points tonight, Bobby Ryan tied the franchise rookie record for points in a season (24-21=45). He now shares the record with Dustin Penner, who collected 29-16=45 points in 2006-07.

With two assists tonight, Chris Pronger reached the 600 NHL point milestone (141-459=600).
