A Streak’s Components, Big and Small
One last look at the Ducks’ franchise-record 12-game unbeaten streak, which ended Friday and tied for the fourth-longest such streak in the NHL this season. (Philadelphia’s 17-game streak was the longest.)
What made the Ducks’ streak all the more impressive? When it began, they hadn’t won two games in a row in a month and their longest unbeaten streak of the season was a mere four games.
During the streak:
--Goalie Guy Hebert had a 1.85 goals-against average and a .946 save percentage.
--Teemu Selanne had 11 goals and 19 points.
--Paul Kariya had seven goals and 17 points.
--Dmitri Mironov had three goals and 10 points.
Still alive: A 12-game home unbeaten streak.

Putting teams away has been a problem lately: The Ducks have lost third-period leads in three of the last four games, ending up with two ties and a loss. . . . The Ducks’ 4-3 loss to Colorado on Friday marked only the third time this season they’ve lost when Selanne and Kariya each scored a goal. They’re 12-3-1 in such games.
