(SportsNetwork. Chicharito Mexico Jersey .com) - A pair of struggling clubs try to find the win column on Saturday night when the Dallas Stars aim to rebound against the visiting New Jersey Devils. The Stars have lost five of their past six games, struggling on the defensive end of the ice over that time. Dallas has yielded five goals in each setback, including Tuesdays 5-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Tyler Seguin netted his NHL-leading 22nd goal of the campaign and Antoine Roussel also lit the lamp, but Kari Lehtonen allowed three goals on 17 shots before getting pulled 7:34 into the second period. Jussi Rynnas made 13 saves on 15 shots faced in relief. Dallas is allowing 3.54 goals per game and head coach Lindy Ruff cited poor puck movement on the back end as an issue versus the Jets. I thought thats the worse our defense has struggled as a group, said Ruff. That affects scoring chances, our puck movement, our transition game, and I thought physically (our defense) got dominated down low. Forward Travis Moen suffered an upper-body injury versus the Jets and is out for this game, while defenseman Alex Goligoski did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to battle through an injury. Though Goligoski is likely to play tonight, forward Ryan Garbutt will begin a three-game suspension for slew-footing Winnipegs Dustin Byfuglien on Tuesday. Its the latest discipline against the 29-year-old Garbutt, who netted 17 goals last season and has five tallies and 10 points in 23 games this season. Garbutt was suspended five games last season for charging and he received a two-game ban in late November for a knee-to-knee hit versus Edmonton. He also was fined for spearing during the most recent postseason and Ruff offered no defense of Garbutt on Thursday. Its something I dont condone. It hurts the team, Ruff said on Dallas website. He needs to make a huge commitment to how we need him to play. Weve seen him when he brings his game. I said, You are in a situation now where you cant go back down that trail anymore. I know you said you wanted to prove it the last time, but we took a huge step back. The Devils eye a better effort tonight after getting handed a 4-1 setback by the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. Martin Havlat notched a goal, but Cory Schneider yielded three tallies on 35 shots as New Jersey was nearly doubled up in the shots department. As a result, the Devils lost for the eighth time in their past 10 games (2-5-3). I think we didnt do a good enough job getting pucks to the net. I thought we had zone time; we got pucks to the point quite a bit, said Devils head coach Peter DeBoer. I thought our (defense) did not do a good enough job getting pucks to the net -- thats why the lack of shots. But I thought we spent enough time in their end to generate some more than we did. New Jersey did see Mike Cammalleri return from a two-game absence caused by a strained gluteus muscle, but Dainius Zubrus missed his second straight due to a leg laceration. Adam Larsson, meanwhile, has missed New Jerseys past five games because of the mumps, while Travis Zajac batted the illness recently while out with a lower-body injury. The Devils had won three straight over the Stars before Dallas picked up a 3-2 shootout victory in New Jersey on Oct. 24. Jamie Benn tallied in regulation and also scored in the shootout along with Jason Spezza, while Lehtonen had 25 saves for the Stars. Schneider finished with 35 stops through overtime.

The Anaheim Ducks dodged the debris and kept moving toward the post-season with a gritty win over their biggest rivals. Patrick Maroon scored the go-ahead goal, Frederik Andersen made 37 saves, and the Ducks beat the Kings 2-1 on Saturday night for their third straight win in the Freeway Faceoff. Andersen and the Pacific Division leaders barely held off the Kings, who had a 38-20 shots advantage. An apparent tying goal by Anze Kopitar was waved off with 6:23 left because of incidental contact with Andersen, prompting Kings fans to litter the ice. The Ducks still showed remarkable resilience in another bruising chapter of this rivalry. Tim Jackman scored an early goal for the Ducks, who won back-to-back games at Colorado and Los Angeles after a four-game skid knocked them from their longtime perch atop the overall NHL standings. Anaheim leads San Jose by two points in the division standings, and the Kings are well back in third place. "Its going to be tough for the Kings to catch us now," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Were up 15 points on them with 14 games to play. They were playing so well. We didnt think they were going to lose another game all year. It was important for us to come in here and show we could measure up to them." Tyler Toffoli scored a power-play goal and Martin Jones stopped 18 shots for the Kings, whose eight-game winning streak was snapped Thursday by Toronto. Los Angeles had won each of Anaheims last five visits to Staples Center since November 2011. The late-game controversy added to the lively rivalry in the Southern California clubs first meeting since their outdoor game at Dodger Stadium on Jan. 25. Kopitars shot through traffic hit Andersens crossbar and apparently rattled in, but the officials immediately waved off any goal, later announcing Andersen had been hit. "The puck was in, but there was some contact," Andersen said. "I couldnt really stop the puck. The ref did the right thing and made the right call." Replays showed the puck barely crossed the goal line while Marian Gaborik and Anaheims Jakob Silfverberg were next to Andersen. Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter leaned onto the ice to disagree, and the crowd made its displeasure known. &"They called it that I touched the goalie before the puck went in," Gaborik said. Glen Johnson England Jersey. "But I dont know, I havent seen the replay." Dozens of fans threw drinks, water bottles and concession items on the ice, prompting a short pause in play while employees with snow shovels removed the garbage. "I dont know why everybody is getting wound up about that," Boudreau said. "They ran into our goalie. I thought it should have been a penalty, frankly. ... Ive seen a lot less things get called for penalties." Jackman put the Ducks ahead late in the first period with his fourth goal of the season, coming out of the corner to score on a slick pass from Mathieu Perreault. The Kings evened it on a power-play goal midway through the second period when Jarret Stolls shot hit Andersens pads and went straight to Toffoli for just his second goal in 26 games since Dec. 19. "I think we didnt play the best that we could," Toffoli said. "But I think we know now that the rest of the season here we have to play hard and play the right way." Los Angeles hadnt scored against Anaheim in more than 148 consecutive minutes, going scoreless against their rivals since Kopitars first-period goal early in their last meeting at Honda Center, two days before Jonas Hillers shutout in Chavez Ravine. Maroon put the Ducks back ahead on the games next shot just 1:09 later. Sprawling Kings defenceman Jake Muzzin deflected the puck past Jones for Maroons first goal since Jan. 30. The Kings scratched captain Dustin Brown, who played sparingly against Toronto on Thursday after Sutter said Browns entire line looked tired. The U.S. Olympian missed practice Friday with what Sutter said was an illness. Anaheim scratched U.S. Olympic defenceman Cam Fowler, who incurred a lower-body injury Friday in Calgary. The Ducks also played without 43-year-old forward Teemu Selanne, who has sat out the back end of several back-to-back sets this season. NOTES: New Anaheim D Stephane Robidas took the pregame warmup, but didnt make his Ducks debut. The veteran blue-liner, acquired March 4 from Dallas, is nearly recovered from a broken leg. ... Jones started for the second time in three games after Jonathan Quick missed practice Friday with an illness. ... Anaheims power play went 0 for 3, dropping to 2 for 42 in its last 13 games. wholesale nfl jerseyswholesale jerseys ' ' '
