NHL NEWS NOV 7  – DUCKS EARN RECORD-SETTING WIN OVER FLAMES

Ryan Kesler (2-0—2), Ryan Getzlaf (0-3—3) and Corey Perry (0-3—3) combined for 2-6—8 to help the Ducks earn their 24th straight regular-season home victory versus Calgary dating to April 4, 2004 (CGY: 0-19-5).

Anaheim’s 24-game run is the longest regular-season home winning streak against one opponent in NHL history and eclipsed the previous streak by Philadelphia, who defeated Pittsburgh 23 straight times on home ice from Feb. 17, 1980 – Jan. 29, 1987.

With three helpers, Getzlaf moved into a tie with Teemu Selanne for first on the franchise’s all-time assists list (531).
