Montreal, QC (SportsNetwork.com) - Frederik Andersen made 23 saves and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 on Thursday night for their eighth win in nine games. Hampus Lindholm and Matt Beleskey scored for the Ducks, who were coming off a 6-2 loss to Toronto on Tuesday, which snapped their seven-game winning streak. Beleskeys winner came 8:33 into the third period, his 15th goal of the season. David Desharnais scored for the Canadiens, who had a three-game winning streak snapped. Carey Price gave up two goals on 23 shots. The Canadiens lost after honoring longtime captain Saku Koivu with a tribute before the game. Koivu played his first 13 seasons with Montreal, missing almost all of the 2001-02 season while he battled non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He retired in September after spending his last five seasons with the Ducks. During a speech on the ice, he thanked fans, former teammates and the doctors who helped him beat cancer and offered condolences to the family of Canadiens legend Jean Beliveau, who died two weeks ago, saying Beliveau represented to him what the captain of a hockey team should be. Max Pacioretty, Montreals leading scorer, left the game in the third period after he was checked from behind into the boards by Anaheim defenseman Clayton Stoner. Pacioretty was several feet from the boards in the Ducks zone when he was hit from behind by Stoner after releasing a pass. The check sent Pacioretty flying into the glass, with his head area appearing to strike first. He was on the ice for a bit before skating slowly off the ice with 15:40 remaining in the period. Stoner was not whistled for a penalty on the play but got a five-minute major a little later after fighting Brandon Prust. Lindholms slap shot from the high left side gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead 8:16 into the game, beating Price into the top of the net. After a scoreless second period, Desharnais tied the game for Montreal on a power play at 5:27 of the third with a one-timer from the right side off Andrei Markovs pass. The Ducks re-gained the lead four seconds after a power play expired when Beleskey, moving through the right circle, swept a one-timer into the top of the net off Rickard Rakells pass from behind the blue line.

PHOENIX -- LeBron James almost never has two bad games in a row. So after matching his season low with 13 points in Miamis loss at Utah last Saturday, the four-time MVP was back being LeBron again in Phoenix. James scored 37 points and, as usual, was the critical component of the big plays down the stretch in the Heats 103-97 victory over the Suns on Tuesday night. He also had five steals, and his prettiest play might have a laser pass to Chris Bosh for a 3-pointer that pretty much sealed the victory with 40.3 seconds to go. It was James highest-scoring game since Dec. 28 and just two points off his season high. "It was good to see us respond," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "And this response started yesterday in practice. There wasnt any dancing around it, we were flat and we didnt bring a game necessary to win on the road against Utah." They brought that energy, and a healthy respect, to the Suns, though. "That (Phoenix) is a really good team," James said. "They are the surprise team of our league this year." Bosh added 21 points and Mario Chalmers 13 for the Heat, who were without Dwyane Wade because of a migraine. Gerald Green scored 21 of his 26 points in the second half for Phoenix. Goran Dragic and Channing Frye had 15 apiece. The Suns lost to Miami for the eighth time in a row. "They make plays at the end of games," Phoenix coach Jeff Hornacek saiad. "They have done it for the last two years, two and a half years, now." The Heat converted 16 Suns turnovers into 24 points. Of his five steals, James said it was something hes been doing for years. "Just being able to anticipate plays, seeing the pass before it happens or shoot the gap like that," James said. "I have been doing it throughout my career." Dragic, the Suns catalyst, was frustrated by a defence that sent various players at him, forcing him to get rid of the ball earlier than he wanted and keeping him from his trademark penetrration.ddddddddddddHe wound up 4 of 12 shooting. Miami used an 11-0 run, capped by a roundhouse breakaway dunk by James, to go up 62-55 with 6:40 left in the third quarter. But Green scored all of Phoenixs points in an 8-1 spurt, including two 3s, and it was tied at 63-63 with 4:42 left in the period. Tuckers behind-the-back pass to Markieff Morris for a dunk just before the buzzer put the Suns up 74-71 entering the fourth. Miami took the lead for good on Norris Coles 3-pointer that made it 83-80 with 7:21 to play and it as 92-87 when James made one of two free throws with 3:27 left. Four consecutive free throws, the last two by Green, cut Miamis lead to 92-89 with 2:48 left. But after Boshs offensive rebound, James sank an 18-footer then stole a pass for a breakaway dunk to make 96-89. Greens fifth 3-pointer of the night cut the lead to 96-92, then Bosh sank that 3 40.3 seconds before the end. James was called for a technical after he was fouled by Green with 25 seconds to go. Green made the technical free throw, then James made two freom the line at the other end and it was 101-95 with 25 seconds left. In front of their biggest home crowd of the season, the Suns shot out to a 12-0 lead. The Heat used a 10-0 run at the end of the first quarter and start of the second, then had an 8-0 spurt to take go ahead for the first time, 33-32 on James driving layup with 6:11 left in the half. There were seven lead changes the rest of the quarter, with Phoenix up 46-43 at the break. Miami, the NBAs best field goal shooting team at 50.8 per cent, shot 38 per cent in the first half, 1 for 11 on 3-pointers. The heat picked it up to 57 per cent in the second half.
