"I thought the first period was excellent and we were terrible in the second. In the third period, we found a way to get the job done and that was the difference," Anaheim's Teemu Selanne said after the Mighty Ducks beat the Phoenix Coyotes 5-3.

Petr Sykora, Selanne and Andy McDonald scored first-period goals, Phoenix narrowed the gap to 3-2 on a pair of Mike Leclerc goals in the second, then the Ducks held on.

Rookie Mikael Holmqvist snapped a tie midway through the third period, and Duncan Keith scored his first NHL goal to add insurance and lift Chicago to a 4-2 victory that stopped the Minnesota Wild's three-game winning streak.

"This was really a huge game for us," said Blackhawks assistant coach Denis Savard, who subbed for head coach Trent Yawney, who missed the game due to the death of his father-in-law. "We got a great effort from everyone. There's no question that was our best game of the year."
