Tim Sassone's game tracker

Ducks 2, Blackhawks 1

Three stars:

1. Corey Perry, Ducks: Scored both goals, getting the game-winner with 4:30 to play.

2. Ryan Getzlaf, Ducks: Two assists and 4 hits in a big effort.

3. Corey Crawford, Hawks: Kept it close early on a night the Hawks didn't deserve to win.

The difference: Anaheim's best players were their best players, which wasn't the case with the Hawks. Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane were on the ice for both Corey Perry goals. Kane's turnover led to Perry's first goal and changed the game's momentum early in the third period.
