ANAHEIM, Calif. – Corey Perry deflected Ryan Getzlaf's centering feed past Jason LaBarbera with 5:37 left, and Jonas Hiller made 36 saves in the Anaheim Ducks' 3-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Sunday night.
Cam Fowler scored his first NHL goal, Toni Lydman also scored, Perry added an assist, and Bobby Ryan had three assists to help Anaheim improve to 2-3-1.
The Ducks rebounded from a 5-4 shootout loss to Atlanta on Friday night in which they failed to protect a two-goal lead by surrendering a pair of power-play goals in the third period.
They also had a two-goal edge against the Coyotes, but made things interesting by giving up goals to Scottie Upshall and Eric Belanger in the third.
The Coyotes, coming off a 2-1 overtime loss to Detroit at home Saturday night, dropped to 1-2-1.
Fowler opened the scoring early in the second period, firing a wrist shot from just inside the blue line that hit the far post and careened in. The 18-year-old defenseman, playing his sixth game after being drafted 12th overall this year, left minutes later after taking a blow to the head.
Fowler had to be helped off the ice when he went crashing down and his head was pinned between the boards and Coyotes forward Shane Doan's knee. No penalty was called on the play and Fowler was evaluated in the locker room and ruled out a short time later.
The Ducks padded the advantage in the second when Lydman took a pass through the crease from Ryan and beat LaBarbera.
NOTES: The Ducks are 14-5-2 against the Coyotes in their last 21 meetings at the Honda Center. ... LaBarbera made 32 saves in his first appearance of the season.
