NEW YORK -- The Anaheim Ducks took nothing for granted on the last day of their longest road trip of the season. Coby Fleener Jersey .
They didnt sit back and put the New York Rangers into an early hole they
never got out of.
Frederik Andersen made 32 saves to stay perfect in four NHL games, and
Corey Perry and Kyle Palmieri scored first-period goals to lead the
Ducks to a 2-1 victory over the Rangers on Monday night.
"To play in Madison Square Garden is something special. I love New
York," Andersen said. "There are so many great things to do here, and I
guess another one is to win a hockey game."
The Ducks finished a season-high, eight-game road trip 5-2-1 --
including 5-0-1 in the final six games. Perry and Palmieri staked
Anaheim to a 2-0 lead just 9:09 in, and the 24-year-old Andersen did the
rest.
"He was huge, kept us in it all night," Palmieri said. "We were able to
get those two goals, and he made it stand up. Hes been awesome. Tonight
was no different."
In four NHL games, all this season, Andersen is 4-0. He has allowed a
total of five goals, and only defenceman Michael Del Zotto got a puck
past him.
"We dug deep for this one," Perry said. "Last one on a road trip is
always the toughest one, and we earned it. Were ready to get home."
Ryan McDonagh pressed for the tying goal with 6:00 remaining in the
game, and was twice denied on hard shots. Benoit Pouliot then had an
in-close backhander stopped with 5:17 left, but drew a penalty.
The Rangers received their third power play with 3:26 remaining, but
that advantage was cut short when Pouliot took New Yorks first penalty
of the game. Another came moments later for too many men on the ice.
That killed any chance of a comeback.
"Sometimes goalies have to come through," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau
said. "We started playing like we didnt want to lose instead of going
after them, which I think we did for most of the third period. Thats
when you need your goalie to come up big."
Henrik Lundqvist stopped 23 shots for the Rangers, who had a three-game
winning streak snapped and dropped to 2-1 on a homestand that ends
Wednesday against Pittsburgh.
"It was definitely not the way we wanted to start off this game,"
Lundqvist said. "They showed why they are a good team. They make you pay
when things like that happen early.
"We couldve easily had at least a point today."
Andersen preserved his shutout -- albeit briefly -- when he made a
stellar save of a hard one-timer from the slot by Brad Richards with
1:44 remaining in the second after Richards took a feed from behind the
net from Carl Hagelin. The Rangers kept the heat on the Ducks, who were
forced to ice the puck.
New York regained control on the ensuing faceoff and cut the deficit to
2-1 with 1:24 left. Rangers captain Ryan Callahan put the puck on net,
and Hagelin whacked at the rebound. With Andersen sprawled on his
stomach, Del Zotto scored his first of the season from the lower edge of
the circle.
That sparked the crowd, and the fans were still cheering when McDonagh
twice knocked Perry over the short boards and into the New York bench.
McDonagh kept him doubled over the second time, and Rangers coach Alain
Vigneault kept an arm around Derek Dorsett to prevent him from taking
any shots at Perry as the period ended.
In the first, the Ducks picked up where they left off against the
Rangers when they sent New York to a 6-0 drubbing on Oct. 10 at Anaheim.
"They are a good team and they showed why they are in the high echelons
of the NHL," Vigneault said. "They dont give you a lot.
"I dont look at it as we lost (6-0) and then we found a way to lose 2-1
tonight. We needed to be better in certain areas."
Anaheim grabbed the lead 1:29 in when Perry scored his ninth.
Dustin Penner sent a shot in that was stopped by Lundqvist, but no one
picked up Perry in front, and he scored with his second whack at the
rebound. The Ducks doubled their lead 6:40 later with help from the
Rangers.
Richards cleared the puck out, but he put it right on the stick of
Francois Beauchemin in the neutral zone. Beauchemin skated the puck back
in and found Palmieri in the high slot for a shot that beat Lundqvist.
"This is a game of mistakes and making your opponent pay when they make
mistakes," Vigneault said.
NOTES: Ducks D Luca Sbisa made his season debut after being out with a
lower body injury and assisted on Perrys goal. ... Callahan returned
from a seven-game absence caused by a broken left thumb. ... Andersen
entered with a 1.50 goals-against average and .944 save percentage.

Kenny Phillips Jersey .com) - In a game between teams at the bottom of their respective conferences that could be key determining draft lottery odds,
the Edmonton Oilers prevailed over the Buffalo Sabres, 3-2, on Thursday. Tim Lelito Jersey .
The offensive drought ended with flurry, though, as Boston scored eight
times in the fourth inning Saturday, including a grand slam by
Carl Crawford, in a 12-7 win over the Texas Rangers.The Philadelphia
Flyers will aim for their third win of the season against the Ottawa
Senators, as the Eastern Conference combatants complete their 2013-14
season series in Mondays clash at Canadian Tire Centre.
Philadelphia is 2-0 against the Senators this season and scored five
goals in each victory. The Flyers recorded a 5-0 win in Ottawa on Nov.
12 and then earned a 5-2 home decision on Nov. 19.
The Flyers have claimed three straight and four of the last five
encounters with the Sens overall and Philly has won two in a row and
three of its past four tests in Canadas capital city.
Ottawa enters Mondays season-series finale against the Flyers having
lost two straight and four of its last five games. The Senators were
able to record a point in their most recent outing, dropping Saturdays
shootout decision against the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs.
James van Riemsdyk scored 97 seconds into the game and again in a
shootout to help the Maple Leafs notch the 4-3 win. It was Torontos
first road win since Oct. 30, ending a seven-game slide as the guest.
Ottawa did well to earn a point on Saturday, as the Senators rallied
from a 3-1 deficit with third-period goals by Erik Condra and
Erik Karlsson. However, Maple Leafs goaltender James Reimer stopped
Jason Spezza and Milan Michalek in the shootout.
Van Riemsdyk beat Craig Anderson with a backhand and Mason Raymond
slipped a shot past the Ottawa goalies glove to give the Maple Leafs the
extra point.
Clarke MacArthur also scored for the Senators, who fell to 3-7-1 in
their last 11 games.
"We fell a little short tonight, but there was a lot of positive for
us," said MacArthur. "They found a way to score on some opportunities,
but I think we outplayed them here."
Ottawa suffered its fifth straight loss on home ice and fell to 4-8-3
this season at Canadian Tire Centre.
The Flyers, meanwhile, lost for the second time in three games Saturday
afternoon in Dallas and are now 2-2-0 on a six-game road trip that is
set to end Wednesday at Chicago. All told, Philadelphia is 6-7-2 as the
visiting teaam this season. Thomas Morstead Saints Jersey.
Philly was slammed 5-1 by the Stars on Saturday, as Tyler Seguin
recorded a natural hat trick in the second period to lead the hosts to
the easy win at American Airlines Center.
Andrej Meszaros provided the sole offense for the Flyers, who played
without co-leading goal scorer Vincent Lecavalier for the third straight
time. On Sunday, the Flyers announced Lecavalier will miss the next
3-to-4 weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his lower back.
Although Lecavalier has posted a solid 14 points on nine goals and five
assists in his first season as a Flyer, hes also been plagued by
injuries. The 33-year-old center has battled various ailments while
playing in just 22 of Philadelphias 29 games so far in 2013-14.
"I would say were probably going to get by as is," Flyers general
manager Paul Holmgren said of the injury situation. "(Lecavalier) does
play a big role on our team. Its hard to go out and replace a guy like
that. You just have to hope other guys pick it up. Theres opportunity
for other guys to perform now."
Steve Mason allowed four goals on 26 shots in Saturdays loss and was
pulled after the second period. It was the first time the former
Columbus goaltender had surrendered more than three goals since arriving
in Philly in a trade with the Blue Jackets last season. Ray Emery
finished with seven saves in the final 20 minutes.
"There were some mistakes we did against their top players and they put
it in the back of the net," Flyers captain Claude Giroux said after the
loss in Dallas. "We cant be making those mistakes."
Mason could get the start again on Monday and is sporting a 5-2-0 record
and a 1.71 goals against average in seven career games against the
Senators. Emery, a former Senator, is 2-0 with a 1.00 GAA in two
lifetime tests against his old club.
In addition to Lecavalier, the Flyers also could be without defenseman
Kimmo Timonen on Monday. The veteran blueliner left Saturdays game with
an upper- body injury and did not return. He is questionable for
tonights contest.
