Perry the hero as Ducks tie club record for straight victories

>> GLENDALE: Corey Perry had a goal and two assists and Jamie McGinn and Rickard Rakell scored on Anaheim’s first two shots as the Ducks tied a franchise record with their 10th straight victory, routing Arizona 5-1 on Thursday night.

Cam Fowler and Josh Manson also scored, and Frederik Andersen stopped 27 shots as Anaheim stayed atop the Pacific Division. The Ducks matched the 2013-14 team’s winning streak despite injured captain Ryan Getzlaf’s absence.

Anthony Duclair scored, and Niklas Treutle allowed five goals on 16 shots in his first NHL start for the Coyotes in their seventh straight loss.

Tampa Bay tied their franchise record with their eighth straight win, with Ben Bishop making 33 saves as the Lightning beat Ottawa 4-1.

Cedric Paquette, Ondrej Palat, Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos — into an empty net — scored for the Lightning, who wrapped up a four-game road trip.

Marc Methot scored the lone goal for the Ottawa Senators. Andrew Hammond, making his first start since Feb 11, made 25 saves.

In Pittsburgh, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Patric Hornqvist each scored in the final 2:13 minutes of the second period, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins past the New York Rangers.

Malkin added two assists and Phil Kessel scored into an empty net for the Penguins, who frustrated Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist midway through the second and chased him with a three-goal flurry at the end of the period.

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 27 shots for the Penguins and is one away from becoming the 20th goalie in NHL history to reach 350 wins.

In Denver, an assist on Florida’s first goal put Jaromir Jagr equal third in career points, but couldn’t stop the Panthers losing to Colorado 3-2.
