Ducks get mad, win

ST. LOUIS —  Cam Janssen’s crunching hit on Ducks defenseman Kent Huskins in the third period drew the ire of the Ducks, and they went on to beat the Blues, 4-3, on Sunday night to end a three-game losing streak.

Ducks enforcer George Parros tried to fight Janssen, but Janssen didn’t oblige, and Parros got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that led to a St. Louis power-play goal.

But the Ducks rallied, getting the tying goal from Steve Montador, then the winner from Bobby Ryan on a power play with 7:11 to play.

“I didn’t have any problem with the hit, but the fake of the dropping of the gloves for a player of that stature and his job,” Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. “Think about it. What would your answer be to it.

“Really, I think what happened was after the penalty to George, on the Janssen incident, we got emotionally involved in the game. That was the difference. If he [Janssen] thinks he did the right thing, well, he just stirred our group.”

Scott Niedermayer had a goal and an assist, Rob Niedermayer also scored, Ryan Getzlaf had two assists, and Jonas Hiller made 27 saves for Anaheim. It was the Ducks’ fourth consecutive 4-3 finish.
