The win also helped their bench boss hit an impressive milestone, as Bruce Boudreau picked up his 200th win with the Ducks to help join an exclusive club of legendary head coaches.

Ryan Kesler and Andrew Cogliano both had a goal and two assists each. Corey Perry scored his 29th of the season, while Nick Ritchie scored the first of his career shortly after in his 25th NHL game.
The win keeps the Ducks within two points of the division-leading Los Angeles Kings, who picked up an impressive 5-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. They will continue their three-game homestand against the New York Rangers on Tuesday.
