Red Hot Ducks Win 8th Straight As Getzlaf Reaches 1,000 Point Milestone

 The Anaheim Ducks continue to be the hottest team in the NHL and Ryan Getzlaf keeps adding to his impressive career stat sheet as the team defeats Washington 3-2 in overtime.

Ducks celebrate Ryan Getzlaf’s 1,000th point with 8th straight win

 

From the Orange County Register

It was a pass like so many of the others Ryan Getzlaf had made over his 17-season NHL career, a cross-ice feed to a streaking teammate that freed him for a shot and a goal. At the same time, Getzlaf’s perfectly directed pass to Cam Fowler was unlike all the others.

It was, after all, his 1,000th career point.

Getzlaf deftly sent the puck from the right wing to the left, pinballing it off the boards so Fowler could skate onto it and, without breaking stride, slam it into the net only 3:32 into the Ducks’ 3-2 overtime victory over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night at Honda Center, their eighth consecutive win and the 1,000th in franchise history.

Trevor Zegras won it 4:14 into the five-minute extra period, whistling a rising shot over Washington goaltender Vitek Vanecek’s left shoulder, flipping his stick into the stands and sending the Ducks past the Edmonton Oilers and into first place in the Pacific Division with a 10-4-3 record.
