After slow start, Ducks take down Oilers
April 8 - Mason McTavish scored the game-winner and Lukas Dostal tied his season high with 45 saves as the Anaheim Ducks edged the visiting Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Monday night.
Cutter Gauthier scored twice for the Ducks (34-35-8, 76 points), who avoided a third straight loss.
Adam Henrique had a goal and an assist and Jeff Skinner also tallied for the Oilers (44-28-5, 93 points), who have lost back-to-back games and dropped to 7-4-1 over their past 12.
Olivier Rodrigue, who made his first NHL start, stopped 18 shots in the loss.
Anaheim took a 3-1 lead at 5:33 of the third as McTavish stripped Kasperi Kapanen of the puck in the Ducks' zone and beat Rodrigue with a wrist shot on a breakaway for his team-leading 21st of the season.
Edmonton pulled to 3-2 at 16:29 of the third as Skinner tipped an Evan Bouchard shot past Dostal for his 16th of the season.

The Ducks forward added his second of the period at 7:10, cutting around Bouchard and putting a backhand shot up and over Rodrigue's glove.

Edmonton outshot Anaheim 14-6 in the first period and led 1-0 after 20 minutes.
Henrique opened the scoring with 2:09 remaining in the first frame, deflecting Jake Walman's point shot past an out-of-position Dostal for his 11th of the season.
Trent Frederic, who made his Oilers debut on Saturday, missed the Monday game due to an ankle injury.
Monday was the fourth and final meeting between the Ducks and Oilers. Anaheim won two of previous meetings between the Pacific Division rivals, taking a 5-3 decision on Dec. 29 and a 6-2 victory on March 4. Edmonton edged Anaheim 3-2 on Jan. 3.

Logan O'Hoppe powers Angels in rout of Astros
June 22 - Logan O'Hoppe hit two home runs and drove in four runs and Luis Rengifo also homered as the Los Angeles Angels cruised to a 9-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif. It was the fourth multi-homer game of O'Hoppe's career and the second this season. Zach Neto doubled twice and scored a run, Nolan Schanuel went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI and Taylor Ward doubled, scored twice and drove in two runs for Los Angeles, which snapped a two-game losing streak. Jose Soriano (5-5) picked up the win after allowing one run on three hits over 6 2/3 innings. He walked three and struck out 10 -- the second time in three starts he hit double-digits in strikeouts. Jose Altuve walked three times and scored a run for Houston, which finished with just three hits. Brandon Walter (0-1), making the fourth start of his career, suffered the loss in yielding seven runs on nine hits in six innings. Walter, who had allowed a total of just three runs in his three previous starts, walked one and struck out six. Los Angeles took a 2-0 lead in the second inning when Rengifo drilled a two-run homer 408 feet over the bullpen in left field. The Angels extended the lead to 6-0 with four runs in the third. Schanuel was hit by a pitch and went to second on Mike Trout's single. Taylor Ward then lined an opposite-field double down the right field line to drive in Schanuel and Trout. O'Hoppe followed with a home run to left-center, his first since May 22. Houston cut the lead to 6-1 in the fourth when Altuve led off with a walk, advanced to second on a groundout, tagged and went to third on a long flyout to right by Cam Smith, and scored on a single by Christian Walker. Los Angeles increased its lead to 7-1 in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI single by Schanuel, driving in Neto, who had doubled. O'Hoppe finished the scoring with his 16th home of the season in the seventh, a two-run blast to left, driving in Ward, who had walked. --Field Level Media

Astros edge Angels in 10 innings on run-scoring wild pitch
June 21 - Mauricio Dubon scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the 10th inning as the visiting Houston Astros posted a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday in Anaheim, Calif. Jeremy Pena went 3-for-4 with a home run, while Hunter Brown allowed one run on two hits across five innings, striking out four and walking two for the Astros, who won their eighth game in 10 tries. Los Angeles' Hunter Strickland (1-1) pitched the top of the 10th for Los Angeles, allowing Pena's leadoff single before the Angels' reliever's wild pitch scored Dubon, who began the inning on second. After Josh Hader (5-1) threw a perfect ninth for Houston, Bennett Sousa worked a clean 10th to secure the win and his second save of the year. Yusei Kikuchi allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings, striking out nine and walking none for the Angels, who lost their second straight game after a three-game winning streak. Jo Adell and Christian Moore each homered for Los Angeles, which was without manager Ron Washington, who missed the game due to health concerns. Houston jumped on Kikuchi out of the gate, with Pena smashing his 10th home run of the season to lead off the game followed by Isaac Paredes connecting on his 16th homer of the year to give the Astros an early 2-0 lead. The Angels cut their deficit in half in the fourth, with Adell hitting his 16th homer of the year -- a 426-foot shot -- to trim the Houston lead to 2-1. Shawn Dubin replaced Brown in the sixth, hitting Mike Trout with a pitch, striking out Taylor Ward and allowing Travis d'Arnaud's single and Adell's walk to load the bases. Bryan King then relieved Dubin, striking out Logan O'Hoppe and Luis Rengifo to end the inning. The Angels pulled even in the seventh as Moore -- last year's eighth overall pick in the MLB Draft -- hit the first home run of his career to begin the inning. Reid Detmers threw a scoreless eighth in relief of Kikuchi. The Angels loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth against Bryan Abreu, but the fourth Houston pitcher struck out Moore to preserve the tied score. --Field Level Media
