DUCKS CONTINUE HOME DOMINANCE OF FLAMES

Ryan Getzlaf dished out five assists to help the Ducks overcome 2-0 and 3-2 deficits en route to winning their 21st consecutive regular-season home game against the Flames dating to April 4, 2004 (CGY: 0-16-5).

Via Elias, Anaheim’s 21-game home winning streak against Calgary is tied for the second-longest such run versus a single opponent in NHL history.

Getzlaf tied franchise records as well as personal career highs for both assists and points in one game – he also collected 0-5—5 on Oct. 29, 2008 at DET. Prior to Tuesday, the last Ducks player to post a five-point game was Teemu Selanne on March 28, 2011 vs. COL (3-2—5).

Getzlaf, who compiled 1-7—8 during Anaheim’s five-game victory over Calgary in the First Round of the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs, has 14-30—44 in 39 career regular-season appearances vs. CGY.

Four other Ducks players registered multi-point performances, highlighted by multi-goal games from both Corey Perry (2-1—3) and Rickard Rakell (2-0—2). Perry notched his second multi-goal and three-point outings of the season, while Rakell posted his second career multi-goal game (also Jan. 11 vs. WPG: 2-2—4).

Flames forward Michael Frolik (2-0—2) registered his eighth career multi-goal performance and second of the season (also Oct. 31 at EDM: 3-0—3).

OFFENSIVE OUTBURST POWERS SENATORS

Jean-Gabriel Pageau (2-1—3) and Mike Hoffman (2-0—2) both recorded multi-goal games to power the Senators to their third consecutive victory as well as their sixth straight game with at least one point (4-0-2).

Pageau posted his first career multi-goal and three-point performances (108 GP). He also scored his League-leading third shorthanded goal of the season (21 GP); he had two such goals in his first 87 career outings.

Hoffman registered his sixth career multi-goal performance and second of the season (also Oct. 17 vs. NSH: 2-1—3). He led all rookies with 27 goals in 2014-15 (79 GP).

Mark Stone added 1-2—3 to match a career high for points in one game, last achieved March 19 vs. BOS (0-3—3).

The Senators snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Stars dating to March 20, 2010 (0-6-1).

Stars captain Jamie Benn (2-1—3) posted his fourth multi-goal and three-point performances of the season to extend his point streak to six games (6-5—11). Benn paces the NHL in goals this season (16) and shares the League lead in points (32 in 22 GP). Teammate Tyler Seguin added a goal to also extend his point streak to six games (3-5—8). Seguin is tied for fourth in the NHL in goals this season (12) and also is one point shy of the League lead (31 in 22 GP).

Senators forward Bobby Ryan scored to extend his point streak to a career-high nine games (4-7—11). Teammate Erik Karlsson collected one assist to extend his point streak to seven games (5-6—11), one shy of his career high last achieved March 10-25, 2014 (3-9—12 in 8 GP).

TOP TEAMS FACE OFF AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

The Rangers (16-3-2) and Canadiens (16-4-2), who are tied atop the NHL standings with 34 points apiece, look to move into sole possession of first place when they face off at Madison Square Garden. New York enters the game having won 11 of its past 12 games overall as well as nine straight at home – its longest such winning streak since 1971-72.

Montreal, meanwhile, has won three of its past four overall and boasts a 7-2-1 record this season as visitors. This marks the second of three meetings in 2015-16 between these Original Six clubs; the Canadiens won their first matchup, 3-0 on Oct. 15 at Bell Centre, behind 25 saves from Carey Price, who owns an 11-5-1 record in 18 career regular-season appearances vs. NYR (1.75 GAA, .943 SV%, 7 SO).
