ANAHEIM — Troy Terry had an assist to extend his point streak to 14 games, and the Anaheim Ducks won their seventh straight, 5-1 against the Vancouver Canucks at Honda Center on Sunday.

Trevor Zegras had two power-play goals and an assist, and John Gibson made 26 saves for the Ducks (9-4-3), who have their longest winning streak since 11 in a row from Feb. 13 to March 5, 2016.

Ryan Getzlaf had two assists to give him six in the past three games and 999 in his NHL career. He would be the first player in Ducks history to score 1,000 points.

Nils Hoglander scored his fourth goal in the past three games, and Jaroslav Halak made 33 saves for the Canucks (5-9-2), who are 0-3-1 in their past four games.

Hoglander gave the Canucks a 1-0 lead at 7:29 of the first period when he weaved through the Anaheim defense before taking a wrist shot from the top of the right circle.

Zegras tied it 1-1 at 12:35 on a slapshot after the Ducks won a face-off in the Vancouver zone and the puck came to him above the right circle.

Getzlaf shot the puck toward the net from the right circle and it hit traffic in front of the net before coming out to Zegras, who scored on the rebound for a 2-1 lead at 2:13 of the second period.

Sonny Milano increased the lead to 3-1 at 8:55. Zegras spun and centered a pass with his backhand to Milano, who scored his third goal of the season. It’s the first three-point game of Zegras’s two-year NHL career.

Adam Henrique scored an empty-net goal to make it 4-1 with 58 seconds left, and Sam Steel scored into an empty net with 37 seconds remaining for the 5-1 final.
