the sixth round of the shootout to lift the Anaheim Ducks to a 6-5 comeback
victory over the struggling St. Louis Blues at the Scottrade Center.
Bobby Ryan totaled two goals and two assists in regulation for Anaheim, which
battled back from a 3-1 deficit after one period to bounce back from Friday's
3-1 loss at Dallas. Teemu Selanne registered three helpers in addition to a
goal, with Saku Koivu contributing a goal and an assist to the rally.
Viktor Fasth made 26 saves through the first three periods and overtime, then
turned aside three of St. Louis' six skaters in the shootout to improve to
5-0-0 on the season and help the Ducks notch their fifth win in six games.

St. Louis' fourth in a row (0-3-1), while David Backes finished with a goal
and an assist.
Backes also potted the apparent game-winning score with 22.2 seconds remaining
in overtime, but the goal was waved off when Patrik Berglund was called for
goaltender interference.
