Getzlaf, Bernier Lift Ducks Over Jets 3-2

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Ryan Getzlaf scored a power-play goal in the third period, Jonathan Bernier stopped 31 shots and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Monday night.

Logan Shaw and Rickard Rakell also scored for Anaheim. Andrew Copp and Nikolaj Ehlers had a goal each for Winnipeg.

The game was physical and chippy, with the teams combining for seven power plays and over 30 minutes in penalties.

Winnipeg's Ondrej Pavelec had 24 saves and got his first loss since being recalled from the AHL a week ago.

The Jets only lead came early when Copp opened the scoring 2:14 into the first period. Copp's sixth goal of the season came as the second-year pro was sprung alone at the top of the circle on a feed from Mark Scheifele that Copp wristed stick side past Bernier.

Shaw tied it less than two minutes later, quickly burying Cam Fowler's rebound on the rush for his second of the season.

Rakell's goal came just 1:25 after Shaw's equalizer, as Rakell beat Pavelec between his shoulder and the post on a sharp angle. Rakell's fourth goal in his last seven games puts his season total at 20.

The Ducks added to their lead at 8:48 of the third when Getzlaf tipped Shea Theodore's shot in the slot to make it 3-1 Anaheim.

With Winnipeg's Adam Lowry and Anaheim's Antoine Vermette both off with coincidental minors and the two clubs playing 4-on-4, Ehlers raced into the Anaheim zone and scored his 17th of the season on an impressive near-breakaway and diving effort.

NOTES: The Jets improving power play, entering the night ranked 15th (18.5 percent) in the NHL, went 0 for 5 against a Ducks penalty kill unit ranked 10th (82.7 percent) in the league. The Ducks eighth-ranked power play (21.6 percent) went 1 for 2 against Winnipeg's struggling 26th-ranked penalty kill (77.4 percent).
