Ducks 5, Red Wings 2: Andrew Cogliano scored the first of his two goals to snap a tie early in the third period and Bobby Ryan tallied 48 seconds later as Anaheim ended an eight-game losing streak in Detroit.

Viktor Fasth turned aside 26 shots to post his seventh win in as many starts. Matt Beleskey and Corey Perry collected a goal and an assist apiece for the Ducks, who improved to 4-1-0 on their season-high six-game road trip.

Joakim Andersson scored his first career goal and added an assist. Tomas Tatar tallied for the second straight game and also set up a goal while Jimmy Howard finished with 32 saves to fall to 7-3-1 lifetime against Anaheim.

Cogliano extended his goal-scoring streak to three games by snapping a 2-2 tie just 62 seconds into the third period. Veteran Saku Koivu recorded his 100th assist as a member of the Ducks after Cogliano tipped his shot past Howard.

After Ryan doubled the lead, Cogliano capped the scoring surge with an empty-net goal. Cogliano also scored four goals during his previous three-game scoring binge, which was recorded from March 7-11, 2008.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Detroit C Pavel Datsyuk missed the contest with what GM Ken Holland called a nagging upper-body injury. The Russian, who is riding a three-game goal-scoring streak, is listed as day-to-day. ... Fasth became the first goaltender since Ray Emery to win his initial seven NHL starts. Emery accomplished the feat with Ottawa from March 21, 2003-Nov. 19, 2005. ... The Red Wings failed to record an official shot on their first two power plays.
