Win gives Ducks a shot to overtake Sharks for 2nd place in Pacific

Anaheim’s Jakob Silfverberg had a goal and two assists, and the host Ducks kept up their surge toward the postseason with their ninth win in 11 games, 5-3 over the Dallas Stars on Friday night.

Josh Manson and Andrew Cogliano each had a goal and an assist for Anaheim, which moved into third place in the Pacific Division, one point ahead of Los Angeles. The Ducks are one point behind the second-place Sharks.

Anaheim heads its finale at Arizona on Saturday night. The Ducks and the Coyotes will begin about 90 minutes before the Kings host the Stars.

If the Ducks win and the Sharks lose in regulation to visiting Minnesota later in the night, Anaheim will finish second in the Pacific.
