Anaheim has won eight straight and won 3-2 in a shootout with one more meeting to go on Feb. 5.
Their still taking quiet satisfaction in the NHL's longest run of one-loss play since the 1967-68 Montreal Canadiens won a record 20 of 21, according to ESPN.com.
"We're not getting too excited about it," coach Bruce Boudreau told ESPN.com. "I've been in this position before, and when you don't come out with the Holy Grail, people don't really care what happened in the regular season. Our goal is to be the best in the regular season, and hopefully it carries on into the playoffs, and we're the best there."
Coach Joel Quenneville feels the Ducks' depth makes them especially hard to beat.
"It's a great test for us, a good measuring stick," he said. "They're on a great run here. Commend them on how they're playing. But game in, game out, they're a hard team to play against. They got a lot of guys contributing, and everyone is a part of it."
Chicago has lost four its last five games and has lost 11 games in overtime or a shootout this season, including the loss against the Ducks in December.
"It is a frustrating game, but we'll stay with it and we know we can build off (Tuesday's) effort and start playing better hockey than we have been the last few games," captain Jonathan Toews said.
Injury report, according to NHL.com:
"Hiller (illness) didn't play Wednesday. The Ducks are also without backup goaltender Viktor Fasth (lower body) and defensemen Luca Sbisa (hand) and Sheldon Souray (wrist). Defenseman Bryan Allen (foot) is ready to return. ... Blackhawks backup goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin (shoulder surgery) is out for the season, but everyone else is healthy."
