from Eric Stephens of the OC Register,
History could be made by the Ducks when they play on Saturday, and it is an about-face twist that reflects their remarkable Jekyll-and-Hyde season.
This group that was once threatening to reach new lows for offensive futility, continued its rampage Thursday night, scoring three times with its white-hot power play and rolling to a 5-1 win over the Arizona Coyotes for its 10th straight victory to tie a franchise record.
They also captured 10 in a row from Dec. 6-28 in 2013, in their franchise-best 54-win season. But that outfit never had to dig out of an October hole.
Now they head into Saturday’s matinee rematch at Staples Center against the Kings in a Southern California showdown for first place in the Pacific Division.
“The biggest thing is when we don’t have our ‘A’ game, we’re still finding ways to win,” Ducks center Ryan Kesler said. “After lapses in our play, we come back with a really strong game. That’s why we’ve won 10 in a row.”
