Anaheim, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Ryan Kesler scored a pair of third-period goals and added the winner in the shootout as the Anaheim Ducks stole a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday. The first meeting of last seasons Western Conference second-round series had the feel of a playoff game, especially after the clubs combined for five goals in a wild third period. Ryan Getzlaf scored with 1:39 left in regulation to force overtime, and goals from Jakob Silfverberg and Kesler in the shootout ended the Ducks three-game slide. Jason LaBarbera took over for an ineffective Frederik Andersen midway through the second period and made 14 saves before stopping Jeff Carter and Anze Kopitar in the shootout. C. J. Cron Jersey .

Frank Viola Twins Jersey .com) - Joe Pavelski scored twice to lead the San Jose Sharks in a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers to split a home-and-home set.SANTA CLARA, Calif. - NaVorro Bowman realizes that just by strapping on a helmet again and stepping onto the practice field he could provide the San Francisco 49ers and their defence a serious emotional lift when they desperately need one.Even if his surgically repaired left knee isnt quite ready for game day, and might not be before seasons end. Almost certainly not in time for Sundays return to Seattle, where he injured the knee in an NFC championship game loss last January.Im going to get out there when I feel 100 per cent, lets be clear on that, Bowman said Tuesday. Throughout this rehab process, Ive been doing everything to get me this far. Now its time for some football activity, some quick-reaction, things like that. Of course I want to be there, if Im ready to go. It just comes to if Im ready. Im listening to the doctors. Theyre being great, cautious about what I do. As far as me, once Im out there, I dont know how to go slow. I just know one speed.San Francisco activated the star linebacker Tuesday to the 53-man roster at the conclusion of its 21-day window to do so before it would have had to decide to rule out any chance of a return and end his season. The 49ers (7-6) are in a must-win mode the rest of the way to have even a slim chance of making the playoffs for the fourth straight year under coach Jim Harbaugh.After back-to-back embarrassing losses to Seattle and Oakland, Harbaughs future is in question.Weve been on an up-and-down slope this year, but Ive been behind these guys since Day 1, Bowman said. Its hard to go out there and play teams like Seattle where youve got young guys that havent been in those type of games yet. Just me putting on a helmet again, guys seeing me put the work in, just showing them that I really do love this game, hopefully it will raise the morale of the team.Bowman, for his part, never considered not trying to play in 2014.While defensive co-ordinator Vic Fangio said Bowman would likely need a couple of weeks of practice before playing, it might depend on the teams chances whhether he does get in a game at all.dddddddddddd The 49ers havent said whether Bowman will practice this week.Its obviously big. Hes not just a defensive leader for our team but last year I think he was the best defensive player in the NFL, linebacker Dan Skuta said. Im happy for him, just to have another great player out on the field.Being without Bowman was a huge blow to a defence that missed pass-rushing specialist Aldon Smith for the first nine games because of a suspension and lost Patrick Willis for the year a month ago because of a strained muscle in his left big toe that required surgery. He was hurt in the third quarter at St. Louis on Oct. 13.Regardless of Bowmans game-day status, having him as a potential option means so much.Thats awesome. I know they might want to ease him into this, given its been awhile and hes fresh off his injury, second-year safety Eric Reid said. Its been different for me a lot, being that last year being my rookie year, all I knew was Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman sitting there in front of me making plays, Reid said. This year, theres some new faces, but theyve been playing great. I dont think we can ask them to play any better. Its been different but it will be awesome to have him back.Bowman tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his knee then had surgery to repair the ACL. In recent weeks he has begun to cut again and simulate football movements.He was an All-Pro in 2011, 12 and last year, and earned Pro Bowl selections in 12 and 13.Any time a player of his calibre becomes available its always a positive thing, punter Andy Lee said. Hes been working really hard to try to get back on the field. Hes definitely somebody that if he can get back out there, why wouldnt it help us?The 49ers cleared roster room by placing second-year tight end Vance McDonald on injured reserve with a back injury. McDonald has appeared in 23 games and has 10 receptions for 149 yards for his career.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
