Corey Perry’s assist on Teemu Selanne’s power-play goal Friday allowed the winger to tie Selanne’s club mark of 17 consecutive games with at least a point set during his first go-round with the Ducks in 1999.

Selanne reacted with some mock jealousy for his talented teammate.

“I told Corey that I tried to miss that,” Selanne said. “I think it’s great. I was joking that it’s about time.”

Perry has racked up nine goals and 14 assists during his streak.

“It’s not easy,” Selanne said. “Especially with the way we’ve been playing, especially early when you’re losing games like here and there and you’re still able to get points. That’s big.

“That’s what Corey has been doing the whole year. I’m very happy for him. He deserves everything that he gets.”
