Rakell, Perry help Ducks rally to win 5-3

Ottawa hold off Dallas with third period strikes

Last updated:

Anaheim, California: Rickard Rakell and Corey Perry scored two goals apiece as the Anaheim Ducks rallied from a third-period deficit for their 21st straight home victory over the Calgary Flames, 5-3 on Tuesday.

Captain Ryan Getzlaf tied a team record with five assists for the Ducks, who haven’t lost a regular-season game to Calgary at Honda Centre since January 19, 2004.

The Ducks’ home streak against the Flames is the NHL’s longest in a two-team series since Philadelphia won an NHL-record 23 straight over Pittsburgh in the 1980s. Michael Frolik scored two goals and Sam Bennett had a goal and an assist for the Flames, who couldn’t complete their first three-game winning streak of the season. Karri Ramo stopped 27 shots for Calgary.

In Dallas, Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored two third-period goals and Ottawa held off Dallas. Ottawa were outshot 37-20, but scored three unassisted goals after takeaways, one on the power play and another short-handed, by Pageau.

Craig Anderson made 33 saves in his third straight win, including two shutouts. Pageau scored on two breakaways, including his league-leading third short-handed, and added an assist. He has six goals this season.
