With their old rivals, the Detroit Red Wings in town, the squads combined for three brawls.
With each fist that connected, each drop of the gloves, the Ducks' bench seemed ignited, and it sparked the club to a 4-2 victory before a sold-out crowd of 17,243 at Honda Center.
"I think the whole game, we fed off of [Nick Ritchie's fight]. … Emotionally, we're in the game, and that's definitely a positive for us," said Corey Perry, who exchanged blows himself with Justin Abdelkader in the second period.
It was the second consecutive game where Perry had a (mostly) empty net to shoot at following a heady pass from the Ducks captain.
