Ducks do the Capitals 6-1

Anaheim's Shawn Thornton scored 57 seconds in, Teemu Selanne had his 16th goal and an assist in the third period, and the NHL-leading Ducks beat the Washington Capitals 6-1 on Friday night for their seventh victory in eight games.

Todd Marchant had a goal and two assists, and Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 26 saves to help stop Washington's four-game winning streak. Giguere's bid for a second consecutive shutout ended with Alexander Semin's goal 5:06 into the third period, off an Alex Ovechkin pass that he fired off between his legs.

Thornton called up from the minors during the day and immediately produced his first NHL goal since the 2003-2004 season, when he played for Chicago. Thornton also served a five-minute penalty for fighting and assisted on Dustin Penner's goal in the second period that made it 3-0.

Selanne, Andy McDonald and Corey Perry scored in the final period for Anaheim (22-3-6, 51 points), which is off to the best start in franchise history. Selanne has eight points in the past four games.

Devils 2, Flyers 0

At East Rutherford, New Jersey, Martin Brodeur recorded his 84th career shutout to tie Glenn Hall for third place in NHL history and New Jersey beat Philadelphia for its fourth straight win.

Brodeur 28 saves in his fourth shutout this season and helped New Jersey improve to 11-1-1 at home.

The 34-year-old's best save was a sweeping glove stop on a power-play rebound attempt by Geoff Sanderson with 10:06 left in the second period and the Devils clinging to a 1-0 lead.

Oilers 2, Stars 0

At Dallas, Dwayne Roloson stopped 22 shots for his second straight shutout and Marc-Andre Bergeron had a power-play goal to help Edmonton end Dallas' six-game home winning streak.

Raffi Torres also scored for the Oilers, who have won three straight and are 8-2-1 in their last 11.

Roloson's career shutout improved the Oilers to 4-19-2 in regular-season games in Dallas since the Stars moved from Minnesota in 1993.
