Ducks 4, Canucks 0: Frederik Andersen extended his personal winning streak to seven games with his second shutout in four starts as league-leading Anaheim skated to its sixth straight victory - both overall and in Vancouver.

Rickard Rakell recorded a goal and an assist while Matt Beleskey, Kyle Palmieri and Patrick Maroon also scored for the Ducks, who improved to 9-0-1 in their last 10 overall against the Canucks and 8-0-2 in their last 10 visits to Rogers Arena. Andersen made 10 of his 17 saves in the first period en route to his third career shutout.

Ryan Miller turned aside 20 shots for the Canucks, who have lost two in a row following a three-game winning streak. Vancouver has been blanked in each of its last two home games and has gone 176 minutes, 21 seconds without a goal at Rogers Arena since Daniel Sedin tallied at 3:39 of the first period against Florida on Jan. 8.

Anaheim gave Andersen the only offensive support he needed with 6:17 remaining in the first period, when Beleskey unleashed a blast from above the left faceoff circle that glanced off Miller's glove and in. The tally was the 18th of the season for Beleskey, whose previous career high was 11 set in 2009-10.

With the Ducks already on the power play and Vancouver's Jannik Hansen about to be whistled for goalie interference, Palmieri fired a wrist shot from the right faceoff dot between Miller's pads at 7:19 of the second session to double the lead. Rakell put the contest out of reach midway through the third as his shot from above the slot sailed under the crossbar after deflecting off Canucks defenseman Frank Corrado's stick.
