Ducks 5, Coyotes 1
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- No Ryan Getzlaf was no problem for the soaring Anaheim Ducks.
Corey Perry had a goal and two assists, and Jamie McGinn scored his second goal in two games with his new team as Anaheim rolled over the Arizona Coyotes 5-1 Thursday at Gila River Arena.
The Ducks (36-19-8) matched a franchise record with their 10th consecutive win, a mark that was set from Dec. 6-28, 2013. Anaheim is 17-1-1 in its past 19 games and 24-4-2 since the Christmas break.
Anaheim also earned a point in a 12th game in a row (11-0-1). Both streaks are the longest active runs in the NHL.
Getzlaf was a late scratch due to a lower-body injury, but Anaheim didn't miss him against the Coyotes and Arizona goalie Niklas Treutle, who was making his first NHL start. Treutle stopped just 11 of 16 shots before he was replaced.
The Coyotes (27-31-6) dropped their season-high seventh consecutive game.
The Ducks scored on their first two shots, Frederik Andersen made 27 saves, and Anaheim was never in jeopardy. With the win, Anaheim moved two points ahead of Los Angeles for first place in the Pacific Division, pending the Kings' result Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens.
Arizona won its first three games against Anaheim this season but dropped the final two to fall 10 points off the Western Conference wild-card pace. The Coyotes are 5-15-2 in their past 22 games. Treutle got off to inauspicious start in his NHL debut when he mishandled a dump-in behind the net early in the first period. Treutle banked a passing attempt off Perry's shin pads and onto McGinn's stick behind the net.
With Treutle scrambling to get back in the net, McGinn banked the puck off the goalie and in at 4:52 of the first period. It was Anaheim's first shot on goal and McGinn's second goal in two games since coming over from in a trade-deadline deal from Buffalo.
The Ducks also scored on their second shot of the game. With Coyotes left winger Jordan Martinook off for high-sticking, Perry set up center Rickard Rakell with a perfect backdoor feed and Rakell banged it in the open side for a 2-0 lead at the 5:38 mark.
Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler widened the lead to 3-0 on a power play at 1:33 of the second period when he hammered a shot from the point into the far side of the net with Perry cutting across Treutle's vision.
Anthony Duclair put the Coyotes on the board when he beat Andresen from the slot on the power play at 9:02 of the second period. It was Duclair's sixth goal in five games against the Ducks, and his 17th of the season.
Ducks center Ryan Kesler helped restore the three-goal lead when he cut across the high slot and sent a perfect backhand pass to defenseman Josh Manson at the far post for an easy tap-in and a 4-1 lead at 13:59 of the second period.
Anaheim put the game out of reach when Perry scored on a rebound of defenseman Kevin Bieksa's shot with 59.9 seconds left in the period for a 5-1 lead. Perry has five goals and three assists in his last three games.
Louis Domingue replaced Treutle for the third period and stopped all five shots he faced.
