ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Steve Rucchin didn't have to worry about using deodorant on the ice during the past several weeks -- because he never had to raise his arms to celebrate a goal. And he wasn't sure when the next one would come.

"I think I got beyond that point about three weeks ago," said Rucchin, who scored the go-ahead goal for Anaheim in a 4-2 victory over Chicago on Friday night that ended a 13-game drought.

	Chicago's Dean McAmmond looks for room around Anaheim defenseman Pavel Trnka on Friday.

"It's been a lot of games and it's been frustrating. I was pretty lucky tonight, but hopefully it's going to get things going for me."

For the second consecutive game, the Ducks took the lead less than a minute after one of their players got into a fight -- and on a play in which the opponent's goalie made an ill-advised play behind the net.

Stu Grimson and Chicago's Brad Brown were in the penalty box when Jocelyn Thibault left his crease to play the puck and casually left it for his defense to start a rush. But Rucchin came flying in out of nowhere, sped between the stunned duo of Sylvain Cote and Bryan McCabe and banked the puck in off Thibault's left leg from behind the net.

"That's just lack of communication," Chicago coach Lorne Molleken said. "Thibault goes out to play it, and whether or not he heard the defensemen, bang. It's off his skate and in. But that's the way things are going right now for us."

Rucchin has only four goals and seven assists in 21 games, after averaging 19 goals during his previous four seasons with Anaheim. Of course, not playing on the number one line with Paul Kariya's and Teemu Selanne might have something to do with it.

"There's no question that I definitely have to pick up my offensive game to help this team," Rucchin said. "I've had some chances and they haven't been going in. But all you need is one sometimes, and hopefully this is the one.

"I've been kind of complaining lately that I haven't been getting any luck," he added with a laugh. "But I definitely can't be saying that anmore. That one more than makes up for it."

Kariya reached the 400-point mark with an assist on Frederick Olausson's goal during a two-man advantage. Niclas Havelid recorded his first NHL goal, and Marty McInnis also scored for the Ducks, 9-3-3 in their last 15 games against Chicago.

Tony Amonte extended his goal-scoring streak to five games with his 10th of the season, and Doug Gilmour also scored for the Blackhawks, 1-5 in their last six games.

Grimson, who had 610 penalty minutes and just three goals in three seasons with the Blackhawks, recorded his own unique brand of "hat trick." He got into three fights and earned an automatic game misconduct. The last two were against Ryan VandenBussche.

Havelid, a 26-year-old defenseman from Sweden whom the Ducks took in the third round of the June draft, made it 3-1 at 6:20 of the second period. He got a pass from behind the net from Jeff Nielsen and beat Thibault to the glove side with a one-timer from 20 feet out in the slot.

"I didn't have much confidence to start the game," Thibault said after his record dropped to 1-7-3. "But in the second period I was getting peppered a lot. And after I took some shots, I felt more comfortable."

Kariya, playing in his 322nd NHL game, became the first player in Ducks history to reach the 400-point mark when he shook off a check by McCabe and went behind the net before setting up Olausson's 25-foot slap shot from the right circle 61 seconds before the second intermission.

Amonte opened the scoring with his 10th goal, pouncing on a loose puck near the crease and jamming it under Guy Hebert with the second whack. Hebert stopped 30 shots, including all 14 he faced in the second period.

McInnis tied the score less than 1½ minutes later, beating Thibault from the top of the right circle after getting a diagonal cross-ice feed from Mike Leclerc.
