Hurricanes end Ducks winning streak at eight; Terry extends run to 16

ANAHEIM -- Troy Terry scored to extend his point streak to 16 games, but the Anaheim Ducks eight-game winning streak ended with a 2-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes at Honda Center on Thursday.

John Gibson made 29 saves for the Ducks (10-5-3), who also had a 10-game point streak end.
"We've been able to hang in there and play with, basically, every team so far," Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said.
Seth Jarvis scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period, and Frederik Andersen made 31 saves for the Hurricanes (13-2-0), who have won three in a row.
"We'll take the win," Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "[The Ducks] are a good team. They're playing fast and I thought they were real confident in what they were doing."
Terry extended his point streak when he scored at 11:03 of the first period to tie it 1-1. He carried the puck into the zone on a rush and fed Adam Henrique to his left. Andersen then saved Henrique's wrist shot from the left circle, but Terry came in behind and pushed the puck across the goal line.

Terry has scored 22 points (12 goals, 10 assists) during his streak, the third longest in Ducks history, and remained tied with Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers for the longest streak in the NHL this season. McDavid scored against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday.
"We had all kinds of chances to win that game, and they were able to get one on us in the third and shut it down," Terry said. "That's the step we've been taking. ... We're not happy with just playing with teams now, our mindset is different."
Terry had a chance to put the Ducks ahead in the second period, but he shot wide of the open net off a backdoor pass from Ryan Getzlaf.
"I knew [the pass] was coming, it wasn't a surprise to me, and I've got to put that in the net," Terry said. "I know that I had [a goal] tonight, but that's where I've got to take that next step."
Gibson saved a penalty shot by Jarvis at 1:20 of the third period to keep the game tied, but Jarvis was able to give the Hurricanes a 2-1 lead at 9:34 when he banked the puck off Gibson from below the goal line during a scramble around the net.
"Helping the team win is huge," Jarvis said. "Missing that penalty shot kind of [stinks], so I was happy to get one back for the boys."
Ethan Bear scored his first of the season to give the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead at 4:44 of the first period. Martin Necas paused with the puck above the left circle before passing to Bear, who had cut to the net on a backdoor move.

"The game had a bit of everything," Brind'Amour said. "Had a lot of grind in there and some good physical play."
NOTES: Terry and McDavid are the first NHL players to bring a point streak of at least 15 games into the same day since Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning brought 15-game point streaks into March 6, 2010. ... Terry, McDavid and Vegas Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel are the only NHL players since 2011 with points streaks of at least 16 games before the age of 25. ... Corey Perry owns the longest point streak in Ducks history (19 games in 2009-10). Teemu Selanne is second (17, 1998-99). … Jarvis, 19, is the fourth teenager for the Hurricanes/Hartford Whalers to score the game-winning goal in back-to-back games. Andrei Svechnikov, Sebastian Aho and Elias Lindholm are the others. ... Carolina defenseman Brett Pesce returned after missing six games with a lower-body injury. He had a blocked shot in 20:48. ... Getzlaf has eight assists in the past five games. ... Anaheim had won seven of the previous eight games against Carolina.
