Notes from last night's game.
• The Ducks have won four of the last five games (4-1-0), nine of the last 11 (9-2-0) and 10-of-13 (10-3-0).
• Anaheim extended its power play goal streak to seven consecutive games, going 10-for-27 (37.0%) during that stretch. In the last four contests, the club has gone six-for-eight on the power play for a 75.0% success rate.
• Over the past seven games, the Bobby Ryan-Ryan Getzlaf-Corey Perry line has earned 15-19=34 points. During that span, Getzlaf has collected 2-11=13 points, Perry with 7-4=11 points and Ryan earning 6-4=10 points.
• Veteran Jeremy Roenick went so far as to say (which needs a nickname, by the way; they figure to be skating together for quite some time) "That line might be one of the best in the National Hockey League, to tell you the truth. They are very difficult to contain. I think Getzlaf, in my opinion, is one of the top five best hockey players in the League, in terms of his grit and ability. It's a challenge for us. You can't say enough about Bobby Ryan. He's had an unbelievable season and so has Perry. "
• With an assist tonight, Ryan Getzlaf extended his point streak to six games (2-11=13). His assist accounted for his 90th point of the campaign (25-65=90), becoming just the third player in franchise history to reach the 90-point mark in one season (also Selanne and Kariya, multiple seasons).
• With his assist tonight, Teemu Selanne moved into a share of 42nd place with Bernie Nicholls on the NHL's all-time scoring list, bringing his career point total to 578-631=1209 in 1130 games. He also extended his point streak to five games, having earned 3-3=6 points during the span.
• Corey Perry has a five-game goal streak at HOME (5-2=7) and extended his overall point streak to three consecutive games (3-2=5).
