Avalanche 4, Mighty Ducks 3

Andrew Brunette kept the Anaheim Mighty Ducks from rallying again for a seventh straight victory.

Brunette scored two third-period goals - each after Anaheim tied the game - to lead the Colorado Avalanche to a 4-3 victory Tuesday night that snapped the Ducks' six-game winning streak.

Anaheim came from behind to win five straight games and eight of 10. But Brunette's goals helped curb any momentum the Ducks managed to build.

"We're a pretty resilient group," Brunette said.
