ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jonas Hiller made 37 saves, defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky had a goal and an assist, and the Anaheim Ducks beat Calgary 3-2 in a shootout Friday night for their 12th straight home victory over the Flames.

Dan Sexton also scored for the Ducks, who were shut out in their previous two home games by Detroit and Phoenix before splitting a pair of shootout decisions on the road. Teemu Selanne, who had a goal in each of those games, was scratched for the sixth time in 10 games because of a nagging groin injury.

Olli Jokinen and Jarome Iginla scored third-period goals for Calgary. The Flames have won only once in their last 22 games at Anaheim, including three ties. The only exception was Jan. 19, 2004, when Craig Conroy had a career-high four assists in a 5-1 victory.

Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry scored in the tiebreaker for Anaheim. Calgary’s Rene Bourque had a chance to extend it to a fourth round, but Hiller thwarted him to put a damper on Bourque’s 29th birthday.
