WHILE the Chicago Blackhawks captured the National Hockey League spotlight with their record start to the regular season, the Anaheim Ducks cruised right along behind them, waiting for their chance.
When that opportunity arrived late in the third period on Wednesday night, Ryan Getzlaf and Teemu Selanne made the most of it.
Getzlaf set up Bobby Ryan's equalizer and Selanne's tiebreaker 1:04 apart in the waning minutes as the Ducks rallied for a 4-2 victory over Chicago in a meeting of the NHL's top two teams.
Jonas Hiller stopped 22 shots, and Peter Holland and Sheldon Souray scored as the Ducks extended their club-record home winning streak to 13 games in dramatic fashion. Anaheim pulled within three points of Chicago atop the overall standings by dealing the Blackhawks their season's third regulation loss.
"It means a lot," Ryan said. "They've made a statement to run away with it so far, and we've quietly just gone about our business. To be three points back with a game in hand is huge. ... It's been a fun ride to be a part of, and I hope it continues."
Elsewhere, the Toronto Maple Leafs had a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lighting, the Minnesota Wild beat the Detroit Red Wings by the same margin, the San Jose Sharks edged the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 in a shootout and the Colorado Avalanche held off the Dallas Stars 4-3.
