the Ducks snap a three-game losing streak with a 2-1 road victory
over the Minnesota Wild.
Minnesota has been the NHL's hottest team recently, but they fell to
1-8-1 in their last 10 games against the Ducks.

Rookie goalie Andrew Hammond continued a spectacular start to his
NHL career when he made 34 saves to lead the surging Ottawa Senators

With their 10th win in 12 games, the Senators moved within five
points of a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.
Hammond improved to 9-0-1 as a starter and is just the second NHL
goalie to allow two goals or fewer in each of his first 10 starts.
