Getzlaf records 989th point to break franchise record set by Teemu Selanne
Troy Terry scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period on a milestone assist by Ryan Getzlaf as the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Montreal Canadiens, 4-2, on Sunday afternoon in Anaheim, Calif.
With the score tied 2-2, Terry took Getzlaf’s no-look backhand touch pass in the neutral zone and then broke in and beat Sam Montembeault with a backhand shot for his fifth goal in six games. The Ducks then mobbed Getzlaf in the right corner while the Honda Center crowd responded with a standing ovation.
Adam Henrique had a goal and an assist and Vinni Lettieri also scored a goal for Anaheim, which snapped a six-game winless streak. Kevin Shattenkirk and Cam Fowler each added a pair of assists while John Gibson made 16 saves.The two teams exchanged power-play goals early in the first period.
Midway through the period, Montreal’s Cedric Paquette picked up a five-minute major and was ejected for boarding Trevor Zegras with a hard check between the numbers along the right corner dasher boards. However, the Ducks managed just one goal, a one-timer by Lettieri from the right faceoff dot off Henrique’s cross-ice feed that went past Montembeault’s glove side.
