ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Corey Perry and Lubomir Visnovsky each had two goals and an assist, Bobby Ryan added a goal and three assists and the Anaheim Ducks beat the New York Rangers 5-2 on Wednesday night.
Visnovsky, who last Friday against Dallas became the first defenseman in franchise history to get a hat trick, increased his points total to 54 — tying Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom and Phoenix’s Keith Yandle for the NHL lead at the position. Visnovsky had a career-high 67 points in 2005-06 for Los Angeles.
Dan Ellis made 30 saves, improving to 4-1-1 since joining Anaheim in a trade from Tampa Bay on Feb. 24. In his only other game against the Rangers this season, he made 34 saves in the Lightning’s 4-3 shootout win at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 23.
