Beware of the Duck. Seriously, Western Conference.
The Anaheim Ducks matched a franchise record with their 10th consecutive win, while provisionally leapfrogging the Los Angeles Kings for top spot in the Pacific Division with a 5-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday night.
Perhaps still a little miffed by his exclusion from Canada's World Cup roster, Corey Perry led the way again, and in the absence of captain Ryan Getzlaf. He scored a goal and added two assists, and has totaled eight points over the last three games.
Newcomer Jamie McGinn, meanwhile, built on his successful debut with the club, collecting a goal and an assist.
Frederik Andersen made 27 saves for the win, and has now stopped 70 of his last 72 shots faced in three starts over the last eight days.
Anaheim, which last won 10 straight games in December of 2013, has one regulation loss in its last 19 games.
