ANAHEIM - Jakob Silfverberg scored in the sixth round of the shootout and Jonas Hiller won a goaltending dual with Mike Smith as the Anaheim Ducks beat the Phoenix Coyotes 3-2 on Friday night.
Silfverberg snapped a shot past Smith's glove and Hiller stopped captain Shane Doan as the Ducks won their sixth straight game and improved to 6-1-0. Silfverberg improved to 5 for 8 in career shootout attempts.
Smith made 37 saves in regulation and overtime and denied Anaheim on four power plays, including Antoine Vermette's third-period tripping penalty. Hiller made 30 saves and withstood six Phoenix power plays, including a 10-second two-man advantage in the third.
A Ducks team that outscored opponents 13-3 in its three prior home games and ranked second in the League in 5-on-5 scoring looked like it would produce one goal until Nick Bonino's fluttering, end-over-end shot from the right point looped past a screening Dustin Penner and beat Smith with 2:02 left in the third to tie it at 2-2.
Hiller held his ground against Smith for most of the night before Phoenix broke a 1-1 tie when Rostislav Klesla scored his first goal of the season with 12:06 remaining in the third. Klesla's point shot hit the knee of Anaheim defenseman Bryan Allen and found the left side of the net.
Phoenix used the momentum from a big penalty kill and tied it at 1-1 in the second. Vermette took a shot-pass from Keith Yandle and banked the puck off Hiller from the left side at 11:11 just after Sami Vatanen came out of the penalty box.
It was Yandle's double-minor high sticking penalty on Daniel Winnik that Anaheim's 30th-ranked power play couldn't convert, and it fell to 1 for 28 on the season. The Ducks got great puck movement, though, and put seven shots on goal. The prime chance was Corey Perry between the circles but Smith denied him.
Selanne got Anaheim on the board in the first period - the fifth time in seven games the Ducks have scored first - because of a Phoenix turnover. Mathieu Perrault grabbed Derek Morris' clear attempt and found Selanne in the slot. Selanne's shot squeaked under Smith's left pad at 6:38 for career goal No.677.
Phoenix put 12 shots on goal in the first period, a vast improvement from the four it had in the opening 20 minutes against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.
