Ducks aim for sixth straight win

Mar 14, 2007 - 12:56 PM Columbus (27-35-7) at Anaheim (42-17-11) 10:00 pm EDT

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- The way the Anaheim Ducks have been playing, they might not be satisfied to just win their division.

Anaheim seeks its sixth straight win and looks to move closer to the top of the Western Conference when it hosts the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday.

The Ducks lead San Jose and Dallas by eight points in the Pacific Division and trail Nashville (98 points) by three points for the top spot in the West.

Teemu Selanne scored his 40th and 41st goals of the season in Anaheim's 4-2 victory over Vancouver on Sunday. The Finnish star is the first player in NHL history to record back-to-back 40-goal seasons at the age of 35 or older. A six-time 40-goal scorer, Selanne has nine goals and nine assists in his last 13 contests.

Andy McDonald also scored twice for Anaheim, which has won the first five games of an eight-game homestand.

The Blue Jackets have lost two straight and scored just once in the losses. Gilbert Brule scored the lone goal and Fredrik Norrena made 31 saves in a 2-1 loss to Nashville on Saturday.
