Ducks spread around scoring in 5-2 win over Blues

ST. LOUIS — Corey Perry scored his team-high 18th goal and rookie Frederik Andersen made 26 saves to lead the Ducks to a 5-2 win over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night at Scottrade Center.

Anaheim won its second in a row, after beating defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago, 3-2, in a shootout Friday. St. Louis lost for the third time in four games and fell to 12-2-2 at home.

Ryan Getzlaf, Andrew Cogliano, Nick Bonino and Mark Fistric also scored for the Ducks, who had not won in regulation in their previous eight trips to St. Louis.

GAME SUMMARY: Ducks 5, Blues 2

Getzlaf, who also contributed an assist, has a point in his last 13 games. He has 10 goals and 10 assists during that span. Getzlaf sat out three games in November because of an injury and has a point in his team’s past 11 games, the longest current run in the NHL.

Andersen, who won his first six starts, improved to 8-1 with his second consecutive victory. He leads all rookie goalies in wins.

Jaden Schwartz and Patrik Berglund scored third-period goals for St. Louis, which had a home winning streak of five ended. The Blues are a league-best 57-16-8 at home since the beginning of the 2011-2012 season.

The Ducks scored three times in the opening 7 minutes 29 seconds to chase Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak, who faced eight shots.

Bonino converted at 17:16 of the second period to push the lead to 4-0.

Andersen stopped the first 20 shots he faced and helped kill off four-minute power plays in each of the first two periods.

Ducks right wing Teemu Selanne was a healthy scratch after playing Friday in Chicago. The 43-year-old has played on back-to-back nights only once this season.

Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller was given the night off after facing 76 shots and 12 shootout attempts in the previous two games.
