Already without prolific right wing Teemu Selanne, who has been sidelined since Dec. 19 because of a lacerated muscle in his left thigh, the Ducks will also be without another of their top scoring threats, right wing Corey Perry, until Jan. 11.

Perry, who ranks second on the team with 34 points, including 10 goals, received a four-game, NHL-imposed suspension Saturday for an elbow to the head of Philadelphia rookie right wing Claude Giroux early in the third period of Friday night's 5-4, shootout loss to the visiting Flyers.

Perry missed Sunday night's 2-0 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes at Honda Center, and will also sit out a home-and-home series with the Los Angeles Kings Tuesday and Thursday, as well as a Friday night home date against the Tampa Bay Lightning,...

Randy Carlyle found a lot to like in the Ducks' all-around play. "Tonight was our best team effort that we've had," the Anaheim coach said after a 2-0 victory over Phoenix on Sunday night. "I think the difference in the game was our special teams. "We got two power-play goals and they went (0-for-4) on their power play, so our penalty killers and our power play stood up." Rookie Bobby Ryan had a...

The Philadelphia Flyers stumbled at the start of the season, losing their first six games. Now they're tied for first place with the New York Rangers in the contentious Atlantic Division, and they don't plan on looking back. Mike Richards scored the only goal in a shootout and assisted on goals by Ossi Vaananen, Braydon Coburn and Mike Knuble, leading the Flyers to a 5-4 victory over the Anaheim...

Rookie Steve Mason was in the minor leagues for the first month of the season and didn't get to play for the Columbus Blue Jackets until their 13th game. Since then, the 6-foot-4 phenom has quickly emerged as one of the NHL's hottest goalies. On Wednesday night, he became the first Columbus goalie to post shutouts in three consecutive games, stopping 27 shots and leading the Blue Jackets to a 2-0...

St. Louis' Cam Janssen gave the Anaheim Ducks an emotional charge. Janssen's crunching hit on Anaheim defenseman Kent Huskins in the third period drew the ire of the Ducks, and they went on to beat the Blues 4-3 on Sunday night to snap a three-game losing streak. Ducks enforcer George Parros tried to fight Janssen, but Janssen didn't oblige, and Parros got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that led...

Even after scoring hundreds of goals and being the face of the Dallas Stars for more than a decade, 38-year-old Mike Modano still amazes his younger teammates. Modano scored at 3:24 of overtime, and Mike Ribeiro tied it in regulation as the Stars beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 on Saturday night. "Talent is talent," Stars center Brad Richards said.

With his father looking on and the Pengrowth Saddledome crowd behind him, Brett Sutter sure made an impact in his NHL debut. Sutter, the son of Calgary general manager Darryl Sutter, scored his first goal at 3:59 of the third period Tuesday night, helping rally the Flames to a 4-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.
