ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Petr Sykora, Teemu Selanne and Andy McDonald scored first-period goals and the Anaheim Mighty Ducks defeated the Phoenix Coyotes 5-3 on Sunday.
After building the early 3-0 lead, the Ducks got the eventual deciding score on rookie Jonathan Hedstrom's first NHL goal with 15:19 left. Rob Niedermayer added a power-play goal on an assist from his brother, Scott, with 34 seconds remaining.
Geoff Sanderson's power-play goal for Phoenix with 5:39 remaining narrowed the gap to 4-3, but the Ducks and goaltender Ilja Bryzgalov, filling in for the injured Jean-Sebastien Giguere, made the lead stand up.
