Ben Guite, Dan Riva and Rob Valicevic each finished with a goal and an assist for the Ducks, who had lost four straight and were winless in their last six (0-4-2-0).

Jean-Francois Damphousse made 30 saves in the victory for Cincinnati, which scored seven goals in a game for the first time since January 6, 2002 against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
