SELANNE PROPELS DUCKS.


Byline: Associated Press

Teemu Selanne increased his league-leading goal total to 41 with his second consecutive two-goal game and also had an assist as the Mighty Ducks beat the Rangers 3-2 Wednesday night in Anaheim.

Steve Rucchin scored his ninth goal for the Ducks, who are 5-2-1 against the Rangers in their five years of existence and 4-0 on home ice. The Ottawa Senators are the only other team that has never won at Anaheim Arena (0-3-1).

Guy Hebert surrendered goals by Adam Graves and Kevin Stevens, but stopped 41 other shots.

Dallas 1, Philadelphia 0: Backup goaltender Roman Turek stopped 26 shots for his first career shutout and Pat Verbeek scored a power-play goal as the Stars beat the struggling Flyers at home.

San Jose 3, Edmonton 0: Mike Vernon made 21 saves for his fourth shutout of the season as the Sharks beat the Oilers on the road.

N.Y. Islanders 4, Montreal 2: Bryan Smolinski broke a tie at 10:48 of the third period as New York extended its unbeaten streak to five games with a win over the Canadiens at home.

Mike Hough clinched the game at 14:43 with a wrist shot off Moog's arm, sending the Canadiens to their first road loss in 11 games (8-1-2).

Tampa Bay 3, Carolina 3: The Lightning's club-record 13-game losing streak ended Wednesday night, but Tampa Bay blew a two-goal lead and had to settle for a tie with the Hurricanes at Greensboro, N.C.

Jeff O'Neill capped the Hurricanes' comeback by shoving a rebound underneath Mark Fitzpatrick with 1:49 left in regulation.

Toronto 3, St. Louis 2: Fredrik Modin scored the winning goal with 6:25 left in the third period as the Maple Leafs ended a four-game losing streak with a home win over the Blues.

Modin took a weak shot from just inside the blue line that deflected off the chest of St. Louis goaltender Grant Fuhr before bouncing over his shoulder and into the net.

Derek King, with his first goal in 10 games, and Igor Korolev also scored for the Maple Leafs.

New Jersey 2, Ottawa 0: Martin Brodeur made 19 saves behind a tough Devils defense as host New Jersey shut out the Senators for the second time in three days.

Pittsburgh 2, Washington 2: Andrew Brunette scored with 5:51 left in the third period as the Capitals tied the Penguins in Pittsburgh, thanks to a 34-save effort by Olaf Kolzig.

Boston 2, Buffalo 2: Michael Peca scored off a rebound with 1:20 left in regulation as the host Sabres extended their unbeaten streak to seven games.

The Sabres are 4-0-3 during the span.
