Dmitry Kulikov and Troy Terry scored in the second period and the Anaheim Ducks held on for a 3–2 victory over the New York Rangers on Wednesday to become the final team in the NHL with a regulation victory this season.
Mason McTavish also scored for the Ducks, who entered with five victories, all in either overtime or in a shootout, over 19 games. Anaheim avoided matching the 2017–18 Arizona Coyotes for most games to start a season without a victory in three periods, 20 straight.
