Jakob Silfverberg had a goal and two assists, and the Ducks maintained their late-season charge with their ninth win in 11 games overall, 5-3 over the Dallas Stars on Friday night. “It’s been a long season, but we still want to take that next step,” Ducks defenceman Francois Beauchemin said. What’s more, if the Ducks win and the San Jose Sharks lose in regulation to Minnesota later in the night, Anaheim will jump into second, earning home ice for at least one round. Ryan Miller made 23 saves to win his second straight start in place of John Gibson. Gibson also missed his second straight game with an upper-body injury, but it isn’t thought to be serious.
