ST. PAUL, Minn. - Despite losing one of their best players and a big lead, the Anaheim Ducks still found a way to win Friday night.Matt Beleskey scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period to give Anaheim a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild.Ryan Kesler had two goals, and Jakob Silfverberg and Tim Jackman also scored for the Ducks, who rallied after giving up a 3-0 lead and trailing 4-3 early in the third period.Thats not how you draw it up, but its two points at the end of the day, Beleskey said.Mikko Koivu, Zach Parise, Jonas Brodin and Justin Fontaine scored for the Wild.Wild coach Mike Yeo said the rally was nice to see, but not good enough.We rallied back, but theres no reason any of us should have a good feeling about any of that, Yeo said. We lost the game. We found a way to grab the lead, but we didnt win it.Fontaine gave Minnesota its first lead of the game at 2:07 of the third with his second goal of the season, but Jackman tied it 90 seconds later.It was good timing we were able to respond and get the game tied up, Jackman said. We were winning 3-0 then all of a sudden its 4-3, so to get that response and tie it up right away gave us the confidence again.Beleskey regained the lead for the Ducks at 8:28 with his 13th of the season.Anaheim lost forward Corey Perry midway through the first on a hit from Minnesota defenceman Keith Ballard. Perry had to be helped off the ice by a trainer and couldnt put weight on his left leg.Ballard dipped low to check Perry near the boards, flipping the Ducks leading goal scorer in the air before he landed hard on the ice. No penalty was called, but Ballard and Nate Thompson fought two minutes later.Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said Perry will travel to Winnipeg and theyll know more about the injury on Saturday.Ballards done that a couple times now. He hits low, I dont know if it was too low or what because I didnt want to look at it yet, Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. Ill look at it on the plane, but it is what it is and well just readjust.Kesler and Silfverberg scored in the first period and then Kesler got his second of the game at 2:28 of the second to put the Ducks up 3-0.Minnesotas 29th-ranked power play then responded.Koivu and Parise scored with the man advantage 11 seconds apart to make it 3-2 at 5:10 of the second. And with 2:11 left in the period, Brodin flicked the puck toward the net and in to tie the score.Seconds earlier, Keslers shot from the point bounced over goalie Darcy Kuemper and was heading in before Nate Prosser covered it and knocked it out. The no-goal ruling stood after a replay review.Like Perrys injury and surrendering the big lead, the no-goal ruling was just another obstacle for Anaheim to overcome.It seems like were almost used to that kind of game, defenceman Clayton Stoner said. We like to do things the hard way and its one of those things where you cant get up too high. We might have been up too high after we got up a few goals.Kuemper, who gave up five goals on 18 shots, was replaced by Niklas Backstrom after Beleskeys score. Kuemper has allowed at least four goals in three of his last four starts.Well have to discuss that, Yeo said when asked Kuempers status. Obviously, we have to make sure that were strong there and we have to make sure that were playing the right game in front of him. Well evaluate that carefully.Ryan Suter, Minnesotas top defencemen, skated in the morning but missed his second straight game with the mumps. Suter is the fifth Wild defender to miss time with the mumps this season.Three Ducks players also have gotten the mumps this season.NOTES: Jared Spurgeon and Prosser are the only two Wild defenders who havent gotten the mumps. ... Anaheim D Mark Fistric returned from back and facial injuries to play in his first game since Oct. 30. ...

Though the 26-year-old said he was able to participate, coach Dwane Casey kept Johnson out as a precaution. Josh Jooris Jersey .C. -- With a chance to start over and maybe drive in any series he wanted, Juan Pablo Montoya thought long and hard about what mattered most at this stage of his career. Adam Cracknell Jersey . Stevenson scored the first three goals of the game in the first period for Regina (35-22-6), which has won eight of its last 10 games. Patrick DAmico added two for the Pats, Braden Christoffer had a single and Morgan Klimchuk chipped in a goal and four assists.FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon ruptured his Achilles tendon on Tuesday and will miss the 2014 season. Weatherspoon suffered the injury while running under the supervision of the teams medical staff. Weatherspoon had been held out of the organized team activities as he was continuing his recovery from a foot injury that limited him to only seven games in 2013. The loss of Weatherspoon, the teams first-round pick from Missouri in 2010, is a blow to the Falcons, whose disappointing 4-12 finish in 2013 was marked by a string of injuries. Weatherspoon has eight sacks and two interceptions in his first four seasons. Weatherspoon has managed to play a full 16 games in only one season, 2011, when he had 80 tackles and a career-high four sacks. Coach Mike Smith said in a statement released by the team on Tuesday night Weatherspoon is expected to make a full recovery following surgery. "During Seans run today with our medical staff, he suffered an injury," Smith said. "We sent Sean to the doctor for some additional testing and evaluation and unfortunately the results showed that he ruptured his Achilles tendon. "Sean had been working extremely hard to get back on the fieeld, but regrettably he will miss the entire 2014 season.dddddddddddd He will have a procedure done in the near future and we expect him to make a full recovery." Weatherspoons 2013 injury forced the Falcons to rely on two undrafted rookies, Joplo Bartu and Paul Worrilow. Worrilow led the team in tackles and Bartu was third. Before Weatherspoons latest injury was disclosed, Smith said Tuesday that Bartu and Worrilow have matured in the off-season. "Two guys who ended up playing a bunch of snaps for us last year have improved and matured," Smith said, referring to Worrilow and Bartu. "If you would have told me at this time last year that one was going to be our leading tackler and the other was going to play 70 per cent of the snaps I would have said I dont think so. "They are a much more mature group. We went through some growing pains with them last year that are going to pay dividends moving forward." The Falcons added four linebackers late in this years NFL draft. Notre Dames Prince Shembo was selected late in the fourth round. Syracuses Marquis Spruill was the teams fifth-round pick. Connecticuts Yawin Smallwood and South Dakotas Tyler Starr were seventh-round picks.
