SEATTLE — – Cutter Gauthier<\/a> had a goal and an assist, Lukas Dostal<\/a> made 21 saves and the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> beat the Seattle Kraken<\/a> 4-2 on Friday night for their sixth straight victory following a nine-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

Ryan Poehling<\/a> scored short-handed, Chris Kreider<\/a> added a power-play goal and Pavel Mintyukov<\/a> banked in a long empty-netter. The Ducks have three games left on a five-game trip they opened with a 2-1 shootout victory at NHL-leading Colorado on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Jared McCann<\/a> and Jaden Schwartz<\/a> scored for Seattle in the third game of a six-game homestand. Philipp Grubauer<\/a> stopped 27 shots, highlighted by a successful poke-check on Jansen Harkins’ penalty shot midway through the second.<\/p>\n

Gauthier and Poehling gave Anaheim a 2-0 lead in the first period, with the Ducks outshooting the Kraken 13-2 in the opening 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Gauthier scored at 1:02. He broke down the right side, cut inside and beat Grubauer with a wrist shot.<\/p>\n

Poehling connected with the Ducks a man down with 4:36 left. He raced down the left side and avoided Grubauer’s poke-check.<\/p>\n

McCann got one back for Seattle at 1:55 of the second. Kreider countered on a power play 2:05 later, scoring off a rebound for his 16th of the season.<\/p>\n

Schwartz cut it to 3-2 at 1:54 of the third, getting behind the defense to tip in Shane Wright<\/a>‘s feed.<\/p>\n
