Getzlaf, Perry lead Ducks over Flames
Ryan Getzlaf had five assists and Corey Perry scored a pair of goals to lead the Anaheim Ducks to a 5-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.
Getzlaf's fourth assist came when he sent Perry in all alone on a breakaway for the eventual game-winning goal in the third period. The Ducks captain added his fifth helper when Ryan Kesler put the game away with an empty-net marker in the dying seconds.
Second career five-point game for Ryan Getzlaf. Also had five helpers on Oct. 29, 2008 against Detroit.

Getzlaf now has seven assists over his last three games.
Perry finished the game with three points to extend his team lead with seven goals and eight assists in 22 games this season.
Rickard Rakell also scored twice in the win, highlighted by a slick skate-to-stick play before going top shelf for a beautiful goal.
Anaheim improved to 8-10-4 on the season and 21-0-0 in its last 21 regular-season home games against the Flames, dating back to April 4, 2004.
