CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Ilya Bryzgalov didn't face many tough chances, but stopped the the ones he did.

Bryzgalov made 24 saves for his league-leading fourth shutout of the season to help the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks beat the Utah Grizzlies 6-0 Wednesday night at Cincinnati Gardens.

Tony Martensson had a goal and two assists and Keith Aucoin and Michael Holmqvist each added a goal and an assist for the Ducks, who snapped a three-game losing streak and improved to 5-2-2-0 at home this season.

Bryzgalov, a second-round pick by Anaheim in 2000, became the winningest goaltender in franchise history for Cincinnati with his 40th career win. His nine career shutouts are also a franchise best.

Jason Bacashihua surrendered four goals on 12 shots before being replaced by Mike Smith midway through the second period for Utah, which lost for the fourth time in five games.

The Ducks complete a two-game series with the Grizzlies at 7:35 p.m. Friday at Cincinnati Gardens.
