ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Ryan Kesler says he turned his October goal-scoring drought into a November bonanza with the same determination and a little more luck.There was nothing lucky about his hard work on another game-winning goal for the Anaheim Ducks.Kesler scored the tiebreaking goal on a rush to the net with 3:40 to play, and Anaheim snapped the New Jersey Devils five-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory Thursday night.You get chances in a game, and its nice when you can bury them, Kesler said with a shrug. Im going to keep riding this wave for as long as I can.After struggling for long stretches of the first 50 minutes against the tough, disciplined Devils, the Ducks took the lead with determination. Jakob Silfverberg controlled the puck behind the net and centered it to Kesler, who outmuscled Travis Zajac in the slot and forced home a backhand for his team-leading eighth goal -- including six in the last six games.Hes strong, Silfverberg said of Kesler. The goal he scored tonight, I dont know how many battles he won in front of the net before he put the puck in.Rickard Rakell and Silfverberg scored 16 seconds apart in the second period to tie it for the Ducks, who took sole possession of first place in the Pacific Division standings with their fifth victory in six games. Jonathan Bernier made 27 saves for the Ducks, who have won the first two on a five-game homestand.Its tough to play against that team, said Silfverberg, who has seven points in the last four games on his line with Kesler and Andrew Cogliano. They play super-aggressive hockey and you dont get a lot of scoring chances. They controlled the first period, but we got going.The Ducks have won four straight at home overall, and theyve beaten New Jersey three straight times at Honda Center for the first time since 1995-97.Kyle Quincey had a goal and an assist for the Devils, who had been on their longest streak since February 2013. Devante Smith-Pelly also scored against his former team, and Cory Schneider stopped 20 shots in New Jerseys second stop on a four-game road trip.It was a chippy game, Schneider said. We did a lot of things we wanted to do, but a couple of breakdowns against that team, and they find a way to make you pay.While the Devils largely felt good about another road effort, they failed to earn a point for just the second time in 12 games, and their power-play drought stretched to 0 for 25 over the past two weeks.The way we played tonight we shouldve at least gotten one (point), but we didnt, Schneider said.The Devils played their second game without leading scorer Taylor Hall, who will be out for at least three weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery Wednesday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.Smith-Pelly put New Jersey ahead with a deflection of Quinceys point shot for his second goal of a quiet season. Quincey put another long shot cleanly past Bernier 3 1/2 minutes later for his second goal of the season and his first multipoint game since Oct. 13, 2015.But moments after Rakells fifth goal in nine games trickled over the line, Silfverberg beat Schneider with a nasty wrist shot for the tying goal, his sixth of the season.Yohann Auvitu, the Devils surprising French rookie defenseman, missed his first game of the season due to an upper-body injury. New Jersey had used the same six defensemen in every game this season before Jon Merrill stepped in for Auvitu.Game notes Three Devils were recently Ducks: D Ben Lovejoy, F Kyle Palmieri and Smith-Pelly. ...

Nothing to see here - move along.Brisbane managing director Daniel Cobb insists there is no crisis at the A-League club despite reports of a mutiny against him led by Roar coach John Aloisi and football operations manager Craig Moore.AAP understands tensions are high between Cobb and the former Socceroo pair, who are less than impressed with his two-month reign at the club and have reportedly told the clubs Indonesian owners they will quit if Cobb isnt removed.Cobb, however, said there had not been a vote of no confidence in him, nor any ultimatums issued.Theres no problems with my relationship with John and Craig. Im very comfortable Ive got their full support, Cobb told AAP.I met with them on Monday for three or four hours. We had a good chat about all the things Ive been able to provide for them they hadnt been able to get from previous owners or leadership.Theyre really happy about that.Theres basically nearly $500,000 thats gone into providing John with extra resources, facilities and equipment to help him make our first team even more successful.Cobb claimed Aloisis sole frustration was the Roars lack of a suitable training venue - but the Melbourne businessman said he meth the Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) on Tuesday to finalise commercial terms over their use of Ballymore.A QRU spokesman ssaid ongoing negotiations with the Roar are drawing to a close, with the deal to provide them with office space, a training field and the use of a gym.ddddddddddddThe Roar will stage their FFA Cup round-of-32 clash next week with Perth at Ballymore.Cobb, meanwhile, revealed the Roar had signed agreements surrounding academy exchanges, player development and sport science with four European clubs he recently held talks with.Those clubs are Germanys Werder Bremen and 1.FC Koln, Spanish second-tier outfit Rayo Vallecano and Portuguese giants Sporting Clube de Portugal.The Roar have also employed former professional players Marco Kueck, Carlos Dreschler and George Papadopolous, who will base themselves full time in Europe to manage the relationships with the partner clubs.Cobb said he was unable to make regular contact with Roar staff while in Europe, which frustrated Aloisi and Moore, because he misplaced his phone on the second day of his trip.Earlier, Aloisi said he wouldnt be walking out on the club.Of course, we want stability and long-term certainty but thats a matter for others, he said.I want the Roar family to rally behind the club. Thats what is important today. ' ' '
