BUFFALO, N. Ernie Banks Jersey .Y. -- After a sloppy start, the Anaheim Ducks turned to their captain. Ryan Getzlaf scored the first of five straight Anaheim goals and then added two assists to lead the Ducks to a 6-3 comeback win over the reeling Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. "We got a little mad," said Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau, whose team fell behind on Cody Hodgsons second-period goal. "We didnt play very good in the first period, and then they scored the first goal. "It was really important for us to lift our spirits by getting (Getzlaf), being the leader he is, coming right back and scoring the goal." Emerson Etem and Corey Perry both scored two goals for the Ducks (11-3-1), who also got a goal from defenceman Sami Vatanen. "We didnt accept what we were doing in the first half of the game," Perry said. "When we got behind, thats when everybody realized what was going on, and we had to play better." The Sabres (2-13-1) continued their worst start in franchise history despite goals from Hodgson, Tyler Myers and Henrik Tallinder. Buffalo has lost its first nine home games, their longest stretch to open a season. "Were facing a lot of adversity right now," Hodgson said. "We can say as much as we want, but at the end of the day its what we do on the ice. Right now its not good enough." With the game tied 1-1 late in the second period, Anaheim scored two goals in 34 seconds. Vatanen took advantage of Matt Moulsons slow back check and fired a shot past goalie Jhonas Enroth from just inside the blue line. Moments later, Etem lifted a rebound opportunity past Enroth for his first of the night. Thirteen players recorded points for Anaheim, which won its first game in Buffalo since 2009. "They got some high-end powered offence, and when you cant contain them they can run up a lot of goals," Hodgson said. "It seemed like we were with them, and all of the sudden they just took off." Buffalo barely tested Anaheim goalie Jonas Hiller, and the Sabres were outshot for the sixth straight game, 29-17. The Sabres opened the scoring 7:15 in with a power-play goal. Moulson fed Hodgson from behind the net for a low one-timed shot that beat Hiller to his right. Moulson and Hodgson had two points. Anaheim tied it less than three minutes later when Getzlaf took a pass from Dustin Penner and lifted a shot over Enroth. "Their record is not great, and we knew we had to get after them," Getzlaf said. "When we came out of that first period, we knew that was unacceptable for our group and we needed to push forward." Perrys goals came in the third period, both wrist shots over Enroths left shoulder. It wasnt all good for the Ducks, Cheap China Jerseys
