All-Star Corey Perry netted a pair of goals and Jonas Hiller turned aside all 33 shots he faced as the Anaheim Ducks continued to dominate the Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place with a 5-0 triumph on Friday.
Ryan Getzlaf notched four assists and Teemu Selanne and Bobby Ryan also tallied for Anaheim, which defeated the Oilers for the eighth straight time in Edmonton. The road victory was just the Ducks' fourth of the season (4-10-6).
Hiller stopped 15 shots during the second period en route to recording his second shutout of the season and 13th career. Edmonton didn't offer much resistance thereafter and fell for the fifth straight time and 12th in 14 games (2-11-1).
Playing in his sixth game since returning a gruesome tendon injury, veteran Jason Blake accepted a feed from defenseman Cam Fowler and slapped a shot from the high slot past Nikolai Khabibulin at the eight-minute mark of the first period.
Selanne doubled the advantage 1:46 into the second period after tucking the puck in from behind the net. Ryan and Perry tallied just over 2 1/2 minutes apart in the session before Perry capped the scoring with his 20th goal of the season.
Khabibulin, who celebrated his 39th birthday on Friday, suffered his sixth straight loss after stopping just 11 of 14 shots.
