Seven games after re-joining the Anaheim Ducks, Teemu Selanne became the franchise's all-time scorer when an assist gave him his 670th point. It also gave the Ducks one of the four second-period goals that would put them ahead of the Flames 4-2, the Los Angeles Times reports. In other icy matchups:

  • Montreal's third straight win leaves it eye-to-eye with Ottawa at the top of the Eastern Conference, while the 5-3 defeat kept Philadelphia in its free-fall from first to seventh in their division.
  • Minnesota let a 3-1 lead and then a 4-2 lead slip away before Marian Gaborik powered the winning shot past Nashville's Chris Mason for an overtime score of 5-4.
