Bobby Ryan scored on a backhand on a breakway go-ahead goal at 11:51 of the third period to give the Anaheim Ducks a 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers Monday night at Honda Center. Corey Perry added two goals in the third period, including an empty netter with 1:14 remaining.
Ryan's goal was assisted by Teemu Selanne, who recorded the 1,398th point of his career. That is good for 19th all-time, tied with fellow Finnish native Jari Kurri.
