ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Anaheim Ducks
scored three power-play goals and two short-handed in the same game
for the first time in club history, more than enough to dispose of
the visiting Nashville Predators 6-1 at Honda Center.
Jakob Silfverberg scored twice and Nick Ritchie, Corey Perry, Ryan
Kesler and Andrew Cogliano one each for the Ducks.
Colin Wilson broke up Anaheim goalie John Gibson's shutout bid with
a late goal. Gibson made 28 saves in his sixth start this season.
The Ducks, who has seven short-handed goals all of last season, have
three through eight games this season.
Rangers 5, Bruins 2
NEW YORK -- Brandon Pirri scored two of New York's five consecutive
goals that erased a two-goal deficit in a thumping of Boston at
Madison Square.
David Pastrnak and Austin Czarnik staked Boston to an early lead but
the Rangers struck for five goals over a 14-minute span across the
second and third periods. Along with Pirri's two goals, Rick Nash,
Jimmy Vesey and Kevin Hayes also scored for the Rangers.
Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist stopped 27 shots to earn the win.
