Judd Caulfield, Tim Washe and Mikael Granlund each had a goal and an assist for the visiting Anaheim Ducks in a 5-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night.
Sam Colangelo and Nikita Nesterenko also scored, Jeff Malott and Beckett Sennecke contributed two assists apiece, and Lukas Dostal made 15 saves for the Ducks, who were coming off a 5-2 loss to the visiting Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday after winning their first two games of the season.
Kyle Connor scored, and Clay Stevenson made 12 saves in his seventh NHL start for the Jets, who had won three in a row following a season-opening overtime loss to the Boston Bruins.
The Ducks kept their streak alive of scoring first in every game this season when Caulfield gave them a 1-0 lead at 14:41 of the first period.
Malott drove to the net and Stevenson saved his backhand from in close, but Caulfield slid the rebound between his pads for his first NHL goal in his fourth game.
The fourth line struck again in the second period when Washe finished off a feed from Malott on a 2-on-1 to make it 2-0 at 5:20.
The assist gave Malott his first multipoint game in the NHL.
Anaheim stretched the lead to 3-0 at 4:25 of the third. Sennecke drove toward the left post and then backhanded a short feed to Colangelo in front of the crease and he tapped the puck in the net.
Sennecke has three goals and three assists through the first four games of his second season in the NHL.
Anaheim missed out on its first shutout since its season opener on Oct. 12, 2024, a 2-0 win against the San Jose Sharks, when Connor got behind the defense and scored from in close to cut it to 3-1 at 10:36 of the third.
Granlund got the goal back at 14:06 when he hit the net with a slap shot from above the left circle to make it 4-1.
Nesterenko scored into an empty net with 41 seconds left to make it 5-1.
