Selanne nets milestone goals

Mar 23, 2008 - 5:34 AM GLENDALE, Arizona (Ticker) -- Anaheim Ducks right wing Teemu Selanne scored his 549th and 550th career goals in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes to move past Hall of Famer Ron Francis into 23rd place on the all-time list.

Selanne snapped a 1-1 deadlock with 9:20 remaining in the third period, when he accepted a feed from Doug Weight in the left faceoff circle and fired a wrist shot past former teammate Ilya Bryzgalov for his 10th goal of the season.

The 37-year-old Selanne opened the scoring just 6:11 into the first period, skating in on a breakaway and wristing the puck past Bryzgalov.

A 10-time All-Star and former Maurice Richard Trophy winner, Selanne has recorded 550 goals and 604 assists in 14 seasons with four different clubs.

Francis, who is second all-time in assists (1,249) and fourth in points (1,798) while playing 23 seasons, won the Selke Trophy in 1995, the Lady Byng three times (1995, 1998, 2002) and the King Clancy in 2002.
