Ducks defeat Wild in overtime

Associated Press

8:36 PM PDT, October 5, 2013

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Mathieu Perreault scored at 4 minutes 55 seconds of overtime to give the Ducks a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night.

After losing their season opener, 6-1, Wednesday in Denver to the Avalanche, the Ducks came out looking to make amends. They needed less than two minutes to score against the Wild, and led 2-0 before the game was 6 minutes old.

“Any headline you read was about how bad we were, so the pride took over a little bit,” Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau said. “It was a big factor in the game.”

BOX SCORE: Ducks 4, Minnesota 3 (OT)

Saku Koivu and Nick Bonino scored the Ducks' goals in the first period. Jakob Silfverberg scored his second goal of the season for the Ducks, assisted by Perreault and Dustin Penner, early in the second period.

Zach Parise scored two goals for the Wild, which lost its opener Thursday in a shootout to the Kings.

Perreault's game-winner came on a two-on-one break with Francois Beauchemin. He dumped the puck to a streaking Beauchemin, who gave it right back to Perreault, and the center flipped his shot past Niklas Backstrom.

“Nobody in that locker room was happy with the way we lost in the season opener,” said Beauchemin, who also assisted on Koivu's first-period goal.

“We wanted to get back to the way we can play. And even though we didn't play our best game tonight, I thought we came out pretty good.”

Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller had 30 saves; Backstrom finished with 26.

719670 Anaheim Ducks

Selanne expected to be a Jet-setter tonight

By ERIC STEPHENS / ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

Published: Oct. 5, 2013 Updated: 10:27 p.m.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Teemu Selanne was merely a spectator Saturday night but there isn’t a doubt that the winger will be the center of attention on Sunday.

Selanne will return to Winnipeg when the Ducks face the Jets and the 15,005-seat MTS Centre will again be jam-packed to witness his final game in the city where he began his momentous NHL career.

It isn’t the first time Selanne has been back but it will be the last. And the reception could be as stirring as the one given to him in the winter of 2011 when he played his first game there since the original Jets traded him to the Ducks in 1996.

“That was unbelievable,” Selanne said. “I don’t really know what to expect. The way how I left the first time in ’96, it happened so quickly and I didn’t really have a chance to say goodbye to the fans. That city was very important for me.”

Longtime Jets fans instantly fell in love with Selanne when the winger exploded onto the hockey scene by scoring 76 goals as a rookie, a mark that remains his career best and one that might stand for a while as a league record for a first-year player.

The love only intensified over time as the first incarnation moved to Phoenix and Winnipeg was without an NHL team until the new Jets relocated from Atlanta in 2011.

“That’s why it’s so special,” Selanne said. “I went there as a young kid and the whole city took me in like I was one of their own. It’s overwhelming. It’s hard to describe and understand really how everything happened there. It’s ‘Friendly Manitoba.’”

His teammates were also awed by the widespread outpouring of love. Selanne was cheered throughout the game and raised his stick during the first stoppage in play and after the game to acknowledge the sellout crowd that serenaded him.

“It was really cool for me to see that,” Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler said. “It was awesome. Just the buzz in the building. Every time he touched the puck, the way the crowd reacted. They booed us every time we had the puck.

“But it was pretty cool. I wish we could have got a win for him. It’s definitely something I remember.”

Selanne was a healthy scratch Saturday against Minnesota as the Ducks and he have a plan in place where he’ll sit one out when the team has to play games on consecutive nights.

Many Jets fans have begged him to come full circle and finish his career with the team but Selanne never seriously considered signing with the club and has created a legacy with the Ducks. He is firmly entrenched with his family in Southern California.

But the winger is planning on making the most of his last stop to where it all began.

“If somebody waits at 2 a.m. in minus-15 (temperature), they deserve to get an autograph,” Selanne said, recalling when fans met the team bus last time. “It just shows how big the hockey is there. It’s bigger than anything.

“That’s why you appreciate Canadians. How much they love hockey and how much passion they have. It’s very, very special.”

STILL RUSTY

Francois Beauchemin admits that his first two games coming off offseason ACL surgery have been nowhere near the form he showed during his career season a year ago.

Beauchemin did set up the play that led to Mathieu Perreault’s overtime goal to make the Ducks a winner Saturday night. But the leader of the defense corps knows that there is still quite a bit of rust to knock off while he finds his game.

“Obviously I’m not where I’d like to be but it’s going to take some time,” said Beauchemin, who had a nightmarish opener in Colorado. “I have to be patient with the surgery I had. Sometimes it’s just frustrating that I’m not playing the way I’m capable of.

“I’m just going to keep working hard and try to keep things simple. It’s going to come back.”

PENNER PLAYS

Dustin Penner played in his first game with the Ducks since 2007 after signing as a free agent and being scratched for the opener. Penner played a shade over 10 minutes and got his first point, an assist on Jakob Silfverberg’s second-period goal.

719671 Anaheim Ducks

Ducks' 20th Anniversary Team

By ERIC STEPHENS

1. Teemu Selanne

Is there any doubt about this one? A superstar who first arrived to Anaheim in 1996, Selanne remarkably re-emerged as a top-flight NHL star at 35 after reconstructive surgery to fix his right knee. The Finnish Flash got his Stanley Cup in 2007 and has remained a big part of the Ducks into his 40s. With the Ducks have come 448 of his 675 goals, 513 of his 755 assists and 961 of his 1,430 points, all of which are the most in the club’s annals by far. Countless jerseys sold with his name on the back and tickets sold because of his presence.

2. Paul Kariya

Kariya will always be the Mighty Ducks’ first star. There were contentious contract issues that perked up during his nine seasons in Anaheim but there was not a better left wing in the game during the late 1990s. At the time of his departure in 2003, Kariya held club records with 300 goals, 369 assists and 669 points. His dramatic Game 6 goal in the Stanley Cup final after being laid out by New Jersey’s Scott Stevens is still one of the greatest moments to have ever taken place at Honda Center (nee Arrowhead Pond).

3. Scott Niedermayer

His 13 seasons and three Stanley Cups with New Jersey obviously stand out, but Niedermayer’s contributions in his five years with the Ducks are equally impressive. The biggest free-agent signing in the club’s history became their universally respected captain and leader, coming up with big momentum-changing plays during their 2006 and 2007 postseason runs. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy in ’07 as the playoffs MVP in the Cup run and heads into the Hockey Hall of Fame this November. His No. 27 could wind up in the Honda Center rafters.
