ANAHEIM, Calif. - After 44 frustrating minutes of scoreless hockey against the stingy Minnesota Wild, only one thought came to Andrew Cogliano when he broke in alone on goalie Darcy Kuemper.Yeah, Id better score now, the speedy Ducks forward said.Cogliano did it, and Corey Perry did it again later in the Ducks dynamic third-period rally.Cogliano ended Minnesotas season-long shutout streak with a short-handed goal early in the third, and Perry got the tiebreaking goal with 8:25 left in the Ducks 2-1 victory over the Wild on Friday night.Frederik Andersen made 27 saves in the fourth consecutive victory for the Ducks, who won their home opener by capitalizing on two late chances in a game frequently dominated by the Wild.But Devante Smith-Pelly forced a turnover and Cam Fowler got the puck ahead to Cogliano, who buried a backhand for the first goal allowed all season by the Wild and Kuemper, who set the franchise record for consecutive scoreless minutes.We just caught them in a bad sequence, Cogliano said. Their team is really tough to play against. Defensively, they dont give you much at all. You have to exert pressure on them to get anything, and we finally did that.Perry then put the Ducks ahead when Jason Zuckers pass went off rookie Matt Dumbas skate and straight to the former league goal-scoring champion, who eventually scored his fifth goal in five games on a rebound.The Ducks hung on for their seventh win in eight meetings with Minnesota, but only after a game-ending scrum that suggested a brewing rivalry for two of the Western Conferences top teams.I know (Kuemper) had some shutouts coming into this game, and we had to work hard to get pucks behind him, said Andersen, who improved to 24-5-0 in his short NHL career. It took a while, but we eventually did it. We have a really good group, really resilient.Zucker scored and Kuemper stopped 24 shots for the Wild, who had the last five days off after beginning the season with back-to-back shutouts of Colorado. Minnesota hadnt missed a step in its return, but Andersen made several enormous saves in the first two periods before the Ducks beat Kuemper late.That short-handed goal doesnt help, Minnesotas Zach Parise said. We were in pretty good control of the game until then. A couple of mistakes on our part, and that was it. I dont think the game got away from us at all.Kuemper played a club-record 163 minutes, 46 seconds of scoreless hockey before Coglianos goal, which prevented the Wild from becoming just the second team in NHL history to open a season with three consecutive shutouts.Its hard to be too upset right now, Minnesota coach Mike Yeo said. You want to win the game, but for the most part, we were playing a great game. There empty nets and opportunities that were bouncing off our sticks. ... We just need to bury those chances.The Ducks played the Wests final home opener after going 3-1 on an impressive season-opening trip. A sellout crowd watched beneath the Ducks second straight Pacific Division title banner.Clayton Stoner faced the Wild for the first time since the defenceman left Minnesota as a free agent last summer for a $13 million deal with the Ducks, but his misstep led to the Wilds first goal.After a scoreless first period, Zucker skated past a stumbling Stoner and scored his second goal in three games. Zucker was born in nearby Newport Beach and grew up in Las Vegas.Late in the second period, Kuemper broke Niklas Backstroms franchise record of 157 minutes, 44 seconds of scoreless play.NOTES: Recently retired ex-Ducks C Saku Koivu attended the game. His brother, Mikko, is the Wilds captain. ... Minnesotas trip concludes Sunday at Los Angeles. The Wilds weird schedule includes just four games in the first two weeks, followed by six games in 10 days. ... Longtime Ducks enforcer George Parros also watched from a luxury suite. ... Forward Chris Wagner made his NHL debut for the Ducks in place of healthy scratch Rickard Rakell. ... New Ducks F Dany Heatley couldnt play against his former Minnesota teammates while missing his fourth straight game with a groin strain. F Kyle Palmieri and D Bryan Allen also havent played this season due to injuries. Adidas Tubular Schweiz . For the Bombers it has been a combination of things coming together at the most inappropriate moments in time. Quarterback, injuries, Canadian talent or depth and leadership are all issues. Trust me when I say being a Bomber is no fun right now in a city that embraces football the way Winnipeg does. While Buck Pierce will be getting another shot, I think Max Hall does deserve another opportunity. Nmd Schuhe Online .Y. -- The New York Islanders were seeking a positive finish to a frustrating season on home ice. http://www.nmdschweizkaufen.ch/ultra-boost-outlet.html. It will be their 15th head-to-head meeting and fourth in the post-season (Sunday at 2pm et/11am pt on CTV) and for his part, Brady isnt downplaying just how big the game is for him. "Im excited - Its everything you could ask for as an athlete," the New England Patriots quarterback told WEEI Radio in Boston on Monday. Adidas Eqt Schweiz . Pospisil, whose season-ending goal is to improve his ATP Tour ranking enough to qualify for one of the 32 seedings at Januarys Australian Open, dominated Karlovic in 59 minutes. The world No. 40 never faced a break point and limited the big mans threatening ace count to a mere eight, while striking five key aces of his own. Adidas Originals Gazelle Schweiz .The Ottawa Senators winger was relegated to a corner seat in the locker-room to allow Daniel Alfredsson to return to his regular stall one last time.(SportsNetwork.com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona. According to TMZ Sports, the offensive lineman at the center of the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal checked into a facility on Thursday night. Incognito was suspended by the Dolphins last November and didnt play the rest of the season after fellow offensive lineman Jonathan Martin left the team before a Week 9 game against Cincinnati and later claimed he had been bullied and harassed by teammates. The results of an investigation wwere released earlier this month and the 144- page report from Ted Wells concluded that the harassment was a contributing factor in Martins decision to leave the team, but added that it was not intended to drive him away or cause lasting emotional injury.dddddddddddd Incognito had strong words for Wells via Twitter after the report was issued, then apologized to Wells, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and Martin a few days later.
