Anaheim, CA (SportsNetwork.
Hugo Lloris France Jersey .com) - Ryan Kesler scored a pair of third-period goals and added the winner in the shootout as the
Anaheim Ducks stole a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday. The
first meeting of last seasons Western Conference second-round series had the
feel of a playoff game, especially after the clubs combined for five goals in a
wild third period. Ryan Getzlaf scored with 1:39 left in regulation to force
overtime, and goals from Jakob Silfverberg and Kesler in the shootout ended the
Ducks three-game slide. Jason LaBarbera took over for an ineffective Frederik
Andersen midway through the second period and made 14 saves before stopping Jeff
Carter and Anze Kopitar in the shootout. That was the loudest regular season
game Ive ever heard, said LaBarbera. It felt like the playoffs out there.
Jonathan Quick made 44 saves in the loss, but the Kings fell for the sixth time
in their last eight games. If it wasnt for Jonathan, it wasnt even close, said
Kings head coach Darryl Sutter. Theyre a much better team than we are. They
proved it last year. Kesler beat Quick from between the circles 2:35 into third
period to knot things at 3-3, but Marian Gaborik and Justin Williams each scored
less than four minutes apart to give the Kings a two-goal cushion. Gaborik
skated in and snuck an odd-angle shot past LaBarbera at the 7:32 mark, and
Williams chipped in a rebound with 8:59 to play. A gorgeous wrap-around goal
from Kesler ignited the Honda Center crowd, and Getzlafs deflection of Devante
Smith-Pellys turnaround shot with 1:39 remaining provoked an even louder
response from the home fans. Sami Vatanen hooked Kopitar going in on a breakaway
9:21 into the opening period, and Kopitar backhanded one through Andersens legs
for the early lead. LAs Drew Doughty scored his first goal of the season with
48.5 seconds left in the opening period with a rising slap shot into the right
corner. Cam Fowler, who had missed Sundays loss to the Canucks, returned with a
goal at the 7:07 mark of the second period to cut Anaheims deficit to 2-1. Just
over two minutes later, however, Andersen let up a soft goal by whiffing on
Trevor Lewis pedestrian wrister from the point, and Bruce Boudreau immediately
pulled his starter. Silfverberg scored from the same spot as Fowler -- the right
circle -- with 8:17 remaining in the middle stanza. Game Notes The Kings needed

Anthony Martial France Jersey . "If we could score a six in every game, obviously I would be pretty excited," Jones said.
"Its a long week but a short week. Its a pretty short round robin from what were
used to so you dont want to get behind the eight ball early.EDMONTON -- The
Phoenix Coyotes almost gassed a game by believing it was in the bag.
Mike Ribeiro had a goal and an assist as Phoenix held on to snap a two-game
losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. Mikkel Boedker,
Radim Vrbata and Derek Morris also scored for the Coyotes (24-18-9) who ended a
five-game losing skid on the road. Phoenix was comfortably in front 4-0 early in
the second period when the tables suddenly turned and they found themselves
hanging on for dear life to collect the two points. "They kept coming and we let
them back into it," said Coyotes captain Shane Doan. "There is a little bit of
(taking foot off the gas) and the fact that you have to get that next one. We
talked about getting that fourth one, we got the fourth one and then we kind of
eased up. We have to keep going. We cant afford to do that." Coyotes coach Dave
Tippet said his team was fortunate its lead wasnt erased altogether. "Once the
score got up 4-0, we made a couple of mistakes, we let them back in the game and
made it tight," he said. "I thought we played well for 30 minutes and for the
next 30 minutes we hung on. "Coming out of the third period with a lead like
that on the road, you should really salt that game away. Its not that we took
our foot of the gas, its the puck mistakes, the penalties, those kind of things.
Things that real good teams dont do, and those are still things that are a work
in progress for our group." Matt Hendricks, David Perron and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
responded for the Oilers (15-32-6), who have now lost six in a row for the
second time this season and have had five losing streaks go five games or
longer. The Oilers are just three points ahead of last-place Buffalo and only
have two wins in their last 13 games. "Its been a common theme this year, our
consistency," Nugent-Hopkins said. "We might play good for the first period and
then sag in the second and play good in the third. We have to find a way to stop
doing that. We are killing ourselves with efforts like that, not playing a full
game." Added Oilers winger Ryan Jones, who collected his 100th NHL point on the
night: "Its almost like we put ourselves in a situation where we have nothing to
lose and thats when we start playing. "We have to come out like that right from
the start, obviously." Edmonton head coach Dallas Eakins was pleased with how
his team came back, but wished they hadnt been in that situation in the first
place. "When you get down in a game like that, it can go one way or another," he
said. "The guys can dig their heels in and fight for each other or the game can
go really badly. Our guys hung in with it. It was great to see, but it is also
disappointing how you can lose a game by playing poorly for three minutes." The
Coyotes started the scoring 14 minutes into the spirited first period as
Antoine Vermette made a cross-ice pass to send Boeedker in with some steam,
beating Oilers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov with a well-placed wrist shot to the top
corner.
Samuel Umtiti Jersey. It was Boedkers 15th goal of the season. Phoenix took a two-goal lead with three minutes left in the
opening period after some quick passing allowed Martin Hanzal to put it in front
to Vrbata and he rifled it home for a power-play goal. Just over a minute later,
it was 3-0 Phoenix, as some shoddy defensive play allowed the puck to squirt
back toward the blue-line. Morris skated in and got all of his weight behind a
shot that beat Bryzgalov to the glove side. Mike Smith was as busy as Bryzgalov
in the Phoenix net, as both goalies faced 15 shots apiece in the first period.
The Coyotes kept coming with another goal three minutes into the second period
as a shot that was going wide was deftly tipped into Edmontons net by Ribeiro.
Edmonton finally got on the board with seven minutes left in the second period
as Hendricks redirected Ryan Joness shot past Smith for his first goal in his
fourth game as an Oiler since coming over in a trade with Nashville. The Oilers
made it a 4-2 game 1:50 into the third as Perron picked a puck up off the side
boards and made a couple of nice moves to get past the Phoenix defenders before
lifting a backhand shot top shelf past Smith. It was Perrons team-leading 19th
goal of the season. Edmonton then cut the lead to a single goal eight minutes
into the third as Jordan Eberle drew the defence to him before sending a nice
backhand pass to a trailing Nugent-Hopkins, who sent a quick shot into the
Coyotes net. The Oilers continued to press and had several good opportunities
late in the game but couldnt get the equalizer. "We talked about after the first
that they had the firepower to come back in the game," Vrbata said. "They almost
did. We have to learn from that. Even at 4-0 the game is not over, you have to
play until the end." Both teams return to action on Sunday as the Oilers play
host to the Nashville Predators and the Coyotes travel to Vancouver to play the
Canucks. Notes: It was the fourth of five games between the two teams, with the
Coyotes having won the first three, including a comeback for a 4-3 overtime win
in Phoenix on New Years Eve. The Coyotes entered the game with four straight
wins over the Oilers, and having won nine of the last 11 encounters between the
two teams overall. They had also won seven of their last eight in Edmontona
Oilers captain Andrew Ference left the game with a head injury and did not
returna. Edmonton winger Nail Yakupov returned to the lineup after missing the
last two games with a head injury. Fellow Russian Anton Belov also drew back
into the lineup to take the place of veteran Nick Schultz... Oilers forward
Ales Hemsky remained out with an ankle injurya Coyotes centre Martin Hanzal
(lower body) and defenceman David Schlemko (upper body) were both back on the
ice for Phoenix after missing Wednesdays game against Calgary.
