ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Texas Stars centre Dustin Jeffrey flew under the Abbotsford Heats radar, but hes sure to attract more attention in the future. The 26-year-old spoiled Abbotsfords annual morning school day game Tuesday as he scored his first two goals of the American Hockey League season to lift the Texas Stars over the Abbotsford Heat 3-1. Entering Tuesdays game, Jeffrey had just three assists in 33 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Dallas Stars and Texas Stars. "Its been a difficult year," he said. "To get these two goals is big. I thought Ive been playing pretty well, helping our team in different ways with the penalty kill and whatever they need, so to contribute this way at a 10:30 a.m. game is big." "Dustins a great hockey player," added teammate Brendan Ranford. "Hes been chugging a little bit of late trying to get that puck into the net a Hes been going hard to the net and a lot of bounces werent going in for him, but tonight they were." Jeffreys second goal proved to be the game winner. Ranford sped down the left side of the ice and dished the puck off to Jeffrey who buried it just under Joey MacDonalds blocker from the top of the left circle at 8:55 of the middle period. "(Jamie Oleksiak) made a great breakout play," said Jeffrey. "We ended up having a four on three rush. I just took a step back and let the guys charge the net, (Ranford) hit me with the pass and it went right through the screen." Brett Richie had a goal, while Ranford picked up two assists. Oleksiak and Scott Glennie each added an assist in the victory. "We knew it was going to battle," said Jeffrey. "We knew that for us to be successful we had to play a strong game and take our chances when they came." Jack Campbell stopped 23 shots in the win for Texas (34-16-8). "Campbell hasnt played in forever because of the injury hes been having," Ranford said. "Hes an exceptional goalie a Hes always square to the shooter and he played very well for us and thats what we need." Sven Baertschi had the lone goal for the Heat (33-19-6), who are now winless in their last five games. "I thought it was a great game from both sides," Baertschi said. "It was up and down, and great speed, too. It was a lot of fun to play today. We just couldnt put the puck in." MacDonald stopped 22 of 25 shots in the loss. Texas went 0-for-1 in on the power play while Abbotsford was 0-for-3. "In general, they were opportunistic," said Abbotsford head coach Troy Ward. "We had a couple of those chances, and we didnt score a They were just a little bit more opportunistic this morning." At 14:41 of the first period, MacDonald denied Texas forward Colton Sceviour when he stacked his pads to make a stop. Baertschi opened the scoring less than a minute later with a snap shot from the bottom of the right circle, beating Campbell high glove side. Jeffrey tied the game at 19:21 with his first goal of the season. Glennie found the puck down low and worked it behind the net to Ranford who found Jeffrey in front for the easy tap-in. "Glennie made a pretty good play to draw two of the defenders to him and that left Ranford open," explained Jeffrey. "He made a good play coming around the net and I just tried to create space in front of the net. He made a great play to find me and it basically went right off my stick." Brett Richie gave Texas a 3-1 lead at 10:29 of the third period on an unassisted breakaway, splitting two Heat defenders and going backhand high over a sprawling MacDonald.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- After a sloppy start, the Anaheim Ducks turned to their captain. Ryan Getzlaf scored the first of five straight Anaheim goals and then added two assists to lead the Ducks to a 6-3 comeback win over the reeling Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. "We got a little mad," said Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau, whose team fell behind on Cody Hodgsons second-period goal. "We didnt play very good in the first period, and then they scored the first goal. "It was really important for us to lift our spirits by getting (Getzlaf), being the leader he is, coming right back and scoring the goal." Emerson Etem and Corey Perry both scored two goals for the Ducks (11-3-1), who also got a goal from defenceman Sami Vatanen. "We didnt accept what we were doing in the first half of the game," Perry said. "When we got behind, thats when everybody realized what was going on, and we had to play better." The Sabres (2-13-1) continued their worst start in franchise history despite goals from Hodgson, Tyler Myers and Henrik Tallinder. Buffalo has lost its first nine home games, their longest stretch to open a season. "Were facing a lot of adversity right now," Hodgson said. "We can say as much as we want, but at the end of the day its what we do on the ice. Right now its not good enough." With the game tied 1-1 late in the second period, Anaheim scored two goals in 34 seconds. Vatanen took advantage of Matt Moulsons slow back check and fired a shot past goalie Jhonas Enroth from just inside the blue line. Moments later, Etem lifted a rebound opportunity past Enroth for his first of the night. Thirteen players recorded points for Anaheim, which won its first game in Buffalo since 2009. "They got some high-end powered offence, and when you cant contain them they can run up a lot of goals," Hodgson said. "It seemed like we were with them, and all of the sudden they just took offf.dddddddddddd" Buffalo barely tested Anaheim goalie Jonas Hiller, and the Sabres were outshot for the sixth straight game, 29-17. The Sabres opened the scoring 7:15 in with a power-play goal. Moulson fed Hodgson from behind the net for a low one-timed shot that beat Hiller to his right. Moulson and Hodgson had two points. Anaheim tied it less than three minutes later when Getzlaf took a pass from Dustin Penner and lifted a shot over Enroth. "Their record is not great, and we knew we had to get after them," Getzlaf said. "When we came out of that first period, we knew that was unacceptable for our group and we needed to push forward." Perrys goals came in the third period, both wrist shots over Enroths left shoulder. It wasnt all good for the Ducks, whose power-play struggles continued. Anaheim has just one goal in its last 26 power plays after an 0-for-3 performance that included an abbreviated 5-on-3 advantage late in the first period. "If ever we can get this power play going, well be an elite team in this league," Getzlaf said. "So weve just got to keep working, keep doing the right things." The three-goal loss was the Sabres fifth of the season, four of which have come at home. Vatanen sustained an upper-body injury in the third period and didnt return. Boudreau said the defenceman was under further observation. Mathieu Perreault had two assists for Anaheim. The Sabres will go on the road for a three-game, West Coast trip that starts Tuesday in San Jose and concludes Friday against the Ducks. NOTES: The Sabres placed RW Patrick Kaleta on waivers on Saturday after he finished his 10-game suspension for a high hit on Columbus D Jack Johnson. ... The Ducks will finish their eight-game road trip on Monday against the New York Rangers. ... John Scott was among the Sabres scratches as he served the fifth game of a seven-game suspension for a late hit on Bruins LW Loui Eriksson. ' ' '
