Corey Perry registered 1-2—3 to power the Ducks to a 17-1-1 clip in their last 19 games, including 10 consecutive victories – matching the franchise record established Dec. 6-28, 2013.

* The Ducks became the third team to post a 10-game winning streak in 2015-16, joining the Panthers (Dec. 15 – Jan. 10: 12-0-0) and Blackhawks (Dec. 29 – Jan. 19: 12-0-0). Via Elias, it marks the first season in NHL history in which three teams have recorded winning streaks of 10 or more games.

. . . AS CALIFORNIA RIVALS KEEP PACE IN PACIFIC DIVISION
The Kings and Sharks also picked up wins to keep pace in the Pacific Division, where the top three clubs are separated by four points:

Tanner Pearson scored for the third consecutive game (4-0—4), while Dwight King provided the winning goal – the seventh of his career and second in his last four outings (also Feb. 25 vs. EDM).

* Down 2-0, the Sharks scored three unanswered goals to improve to 8-2-2 in their past 12 games overall, including a 6-1-1 record as visitors. Brent Burns posted 1-1—2, including his 22nd goal of the season (63 GP) – tops among defensemen and tied for a career high established in 2013-14 (69 GP).

LIGHTNING ALSO EQUAL CLUB RECORD WITH EIGHTH STRAIGHT VICTORY
Ben Bishop turned aside 33 of 34 shots to backstop the Lightning to their eighth consecutive win, equaling the franchise record set Feb. 23 – March 6, 2004.

* The Lightning also earned their sixth straight road win, their longest such run since Jan. 8 – Feb. 7, 2008 (6-0-0) and one shy of the club record established Jan. 7 – Feb. 1, 2007 (7-0-0).

Elias says that Henrique became the fourth player in franchise history to record a trying goal in the final minute of regulation and then the winning goal in that same game. The others:Patrik Elias (Nov. 9, 2001 vs. TOR), Joe Nieuwendyk (Jan. 22, 2003 at SJS) and Jamie Langenbrunner (Jan. 30, 2009 vs. PIT).
