Ryan Getzlaf registered his third straight multi-point game on Tuesday night when he led the Anaheim Ducks to a dominant 5-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks.
The 32-year-old scored a goal and tallied a pair of assists as the Ducks proved to be far more lethal than their hosts. The Canucks outshot Anaheim 31-27, but in the end it didn't matter as the Ducks chased Vancouver starting goaltender Anders Nilsson from the game while helping Ryan Miller maintain a shut out against his former team.

A big reason for Anaheim's success on Tuesday night was Getzlaf, who assisted on Rickard Rakell's first-period goal before scoring one of his own five minutes into the second period. Getzlaf redirected Hampus Lindholm's shot past Nilsson after the Ducks neatly worked the puck around the perimeter to create the scoring chance.
Getzlaf then added his second assist of the night on Antoine Vermette's third-period marker as the Ducks began to pull away.
Anaheim improves to 19-14-8 after Tuesday's game, while Vancouver falls to 16-19-5.
