ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- Brothers were the focus when theAnaheim Ducks defeated the Buffalo Sabres, 4-1, on Wednesdaynight, but not the two who were battling on the ice.

While Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller played against his youngerbrother, Ducks rookie Drew, for the first time in an NHL game,it was one the Anaheim's Niedermayer siblings who was in thespotlight.


It was announced before the game that reigning Conn SmytheTrophy winner Scott Niedermayer will be rejoining his brother,Rob, on Anaheim's roster. Scott Niedermayer had beencontemplating retirement since the Ducks won the Stanley Cup inJune and has not played this season.


His return to the ice, which could come in as little as 10 days,could be the spark the Ducks are looking for. FollowingWednesday's win, the defending champions are just 13-12-4.

Mathieu Schneider, who Anaheim signed to help overcome the lossof Scott Niedermayer, and Todd Bertuzzi, who was signed becauseof Teemu Selanne also is still pondering retirement, scoredsecond-period goals in this one to put the Ducks ahead.

Schneider snapped a 1-1 tie with 7:38 left, scoring a power-playgoal on a slap shot from the top of the right faceoff circle asBertuzzi screened Ryan Miller in front of the crease.

Bertuzzi scored his second goal of the season - and first athome - with 1:40 remaining in the session, taking a cross-icepass by Andy McDonald from along the left wing boards andredirecting the puck over Ryan Miller's outstretched left pad togive the Ducks a 3-1 bulge.


Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 22 shots for the Ducks to avoidhis third straight defeat.


The Sabres took a 1-0 lead at 4:07 of the opening session as thepuck squirted between Jason Pominville and Anaheim defensemanFrancois Beauchemin just inside the Ducks' blue line. Pominvillerecovered the loose puck and went in on a 2-on-0 with JochenHecht.


Pominville skated low into the right circle and feathered a passto Hecht, who scooped up the puck and sent a wrist shot past ahelpless Giguere for his ninth goal of the season.

Anaheim tied the game with 4:27 left in the first on a goal byMcDonald. From the left point, Kent Huskins sent a crisp crossice pass to fellow blue-liner Joe DiPenta.


DiPenta returned the puck to Huskins, who fired a slap shot intotraffic in front. The puck ricocheted off a defender and rolledtoward the right goalpost, where McDonald - who was stationedat the edge of the crease - tapped it across the goal line.

Ryan Miller made 29 saves, including two against his brother,for the Sabres.

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- Brothers were the focus when theAnaheim Ducks defeated the Buffalo Sabres, 4-1, on Wednesdaynight, but not the two who were battling on the ice.

While Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller played against his youngerbrother, Ducks rookie Drew, for the first time in an NHL game,it was one of Anaheim's Niedermayer siblings who was in thespotlight.


It was announced before the game that reigning Conn SmytheTrophy winner Scott Niedermayer will be rejoining his brother,Rob, on Anaheim 's roster. Scott Niedermayer had beencontemplating retirement since the Ducks won the Stanley Cup inJune and has not played this season.


"I know everyone in this room is happy to have him back," RobNiedermayer said of his brother. "I didn't want to put anypressure on him, it was a big decision for him. ... I'm glad hemade the right one. Anytime you get any new guy, it brings alot of life into the room."


His return to the ice, which could come in as little as 10 days,could be the spark the Ducks are looking for. FollowingWednesday's win, the defending champions are just 13-12-4.

"There's no doubt about it. We're an excited group to haveScotty coming back," said Andy McDonald, who had a goal and anassist. "He's such a terrific player. We're going to becomethat much better as a team."


"It's always nice when you can add that type of player back intoyour lineup," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle added. "We think thistransaction at some point here in the future will pay dividends,or we wouldn't have done it. He was a big part of our successlast year."


Mathieu Schneider, who Anaheim signed to help overcome the lossof Scott Niedermayer, and Todd Bertuzzi, who was signed becauseTeemu Selanne also is still pondering retirement, scoredsecond-period goals in this one to put the Ducks ahead.

Schneider snapped a 1-1 tie with 7:38 left, scoring a power-playgoal on a slap shot from the top of the right faceoff circle asBertuzzi screened Ryan Miller in front of the crease.

Bertuzzi scored his second goal of the season - and first athome - with 1:40 remaining in the session, taking a cross-icepass by McDonald from along the left wing boards and redirectingthe puck over Ryan Miller's outstretched left pad to give theDucks a 3-1 bulge.


"It's nice to contribute, but it's got to continue," Bertuzzisaid.


"I'm really happy for Bert," McDonald said. "He's worked prettyhard. I think he's playing really well for us right now. He'sskating hard, he's controlling the puck. Hopefully, we canbuild off tonight. We had some positives tonight, but there's alot of room for improvement still."


Carlyle called the Ducks' effort one of their best of theseason.


"I think that was the most workman-like 60 minutes that we'veplayed in probably the last 60 days," he said. "(The Sabresare) a good team. They can get through that neutral ice, theyhave skill, they're a well-coached hockey club, they're an eliteteam from the Eastern Conference.


"After the first period, we were very, very good. We started totake control of the puck and created a lot for ourselves. Westarted to wear them down."


The second period was Buffalo's downfall.


"I thought we played a good first and a good third, but weplayed a terrible second period that cost us the game," Sabrescoach Lindy Ruff said.


"The second period went wrong. We didn't answer the call," RyanMiller admitted. "They were forechecking well and we couldn'tget through their zone, and when we did, we couldn't get thepuck deep."


Despite the loss, Ryan Miller enjoyed playing against hisbrother. The two embraced in front of the benches after thegame.


"It was just fun to play against him. It was a uniqueexperience," Ryan Miller said. "You don't grow up everexpecting to play in the NHL, but you dream of it. We sharedthat dream and both have seen it come true, and it's prettyamazing."


"It was fun. It's one of the few times that we've gotten toplay in a game against each other," Drew Miller added. "I got acouple of good chances against him, but he shut the door onme."


Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 22 shots for the Ducks to avoidhis third straight defeat. He thinks the addition of ScottNiedermayer will bring added stability to his game.

"He makes everybody a better player, he makes the team a betterteam, plus he's just an exceptional person. It's going to befun to have him back," Giguere said. "We're going to need tostill do our job. Scotty's not going to win it all for us.

"We need everybody to do their job, like we did tonight. Andwe're going to need a lot more of that if we want to besuccessful until the end of the season."


The Sabres took a 1-0 lead at 4:07 of the opening session as thepuck squirted between Jason Pominville and Anaheim defensemanFrancois Beauchemin just inside the Ducks' blue line. Pominvillerecovered the loose puck and went in on a 2-on-0 with JochenHecht.


Pominville skated low into the right circle and feathered a passto Hecht, who scooped up the puck and sent a wrist shot past ahelpless Giguere for his ninth goal of the season.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but it was a nice pass fromPominville across and I just tipped it in," Hecht said.

Anaheim tied the game with 4:27 left in the first on a goal byMcDonald. From the left point, Kent Huskins sent a crisp crossice pass to fellow blue-liner Joe DiPenta.


DiPenta returned the puck to Huskins, who fired a slap shot intotraffic in front. The puck ricocheted off a defender and rolledtoward the right goalpost, where McDonald - who was stationedat the edge of the crease - tapped it across the goal line.
