Beleskey Gives Ducks 5-4 Win Over Wild
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Matt Beleskey scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period to give the Anaheim Ducks a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Friday night.
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.
Mikko Koivu, Zach Parise, Jonas Brodin and Justin Fontaine scored for the Wild.
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.
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 after a hit from Minnesota defenseman Keith Ballard. Perry had to be helped off the ice by a trainer and couldn't put weight on his left leg.
