 Corey Perry celebrated being named to Canada's Olympic team by
scoring a power-play goal and Nick Bonino and Perreault also tallied
with the man advantage for the Ducks, who have won 14 of their last
15 contests. Andrew Cogliano recorded a short-handed tally and
future Hall of Famer Teemu Selanne notched a pair of assists on a
day that he was selected to represent Finland for the sixth time in
the Olympics.
Daniel Paille scored for the fourth time in five contests and
defenseman Dougie Hamilton also tallied for the Bruins, who have
dropped four of their last five road games. Boston continues its
brutal three-game trek through California against Los Angeles (home
record: 14-5-3) on Thursday and San Jose (15-1-3) on Saturday.
After being outshot by a 16-3 margin in the first period, Anaheim
scored a pair of power-play goals 2:36 apart to take hold of the
contest. Perreault shoveled the puck over the shoulder of Tuukka
Rask (15 saves) at 5:53 of the session before Perry cleaned up a
rebound for his team-leading 24th goal — and second in as many days.

Cogliano converted Daniel Winnik's touch pass by beating Rask
at 17:10 to give the Ducks a 3-0 lead before Paille backhanded
the puck between the pads of Hiller with 16 seconds remaining in
the session. Hamilton trimmed the deficit to one by blasting a
shot from the right circle inside the near post, but Bonino and
Perreault answered just over three minutes apart late in the
third to seal the win.
