Alex DeBrincat scored two goals in defeat for Detroit, which has lost six of its last seven.
Radko Gudas gave Anaheim a 1-0 lead with 17:37 remaining in the first period when he fired a shot from in between the faceoff circles that went past Detroit starting goalie Ville Husso.
The Ducks then took a 2-0 lead with 11:41 remaining in the first when Pavel Mintyukov rifled a shot from in between the faceoff circles and into the goal.
Anaheim went up 3-0 with 1:11 left in the first period on a power-play goal by Henrique, who redirected a shot from the point by Cam Fowler in between the pads of Detroit backup goalie James Reimer.
With 18:14 to go in the second period, Anaheim grabbed a 4-0 lead when Terry pounced on a rebound in front of the Detroit goal and buried the chance.
Detroit made it 4-1 with 17:31 left in the second period on a goal by Jeff Petry, who fired a shot from above the right faceoff circle that went just underneath the crossbar.

Detroit got a four-minute power play with 4:29 remaining after a double-minor to Mintyukov for high sticking and then pulled Reimer with 3:28 left.
DeBrincat scored his second of the game on a one-timer from the left faceoff circle to make it 4-3 Anaheim with 2:29 left, but it came one second after the first minor expired and allowed Anaheim to return to full strength.
