ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- Mathieu Schneider returned to thelineup and made an immediate impact in his first game of theseason.


Schneider logged nearly 25 1/2 minutes of ice time and talliedthe shootout winner and Rob Neidermayer scored in regulation forthe Anaheim Ducks, who notched a 2-1 victory over the ColumbusBlue Jackets on Thursday.


Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 19 shots in 65 minutes and turnedaway all three shootout chances for the Ducks, who snapped theBlue Jackets' four-game winning streak.


Ryan Getzlaf had the first shootout chance for Anaheim but wasdenied by goaltender Fredrik Norrena, who stopped 33 shotsbefore the bonus format. After Sergei Fedorov hit the side ofthe net on Columbus' first opportunity, Schneider squeezed ashot between Norrena's pads to put the Ducks in front.

Signed as a free agent over the summer to help alleviate theabsence of Scott Niedermayer, who still is contemplatingretirement, Schneider suffered a fractured ankle in thepreseason and missed Anaheim's first 13 games.


Giguere stopped Rick Nash and David Vyborny to clinch the win.

Despite Anaheim totaling 22 shots in the first two periods, thegame remained scoreless until the final session.


The Ducks struck first just 13 seconds into the third, when RobNiedermayer took a pass from Samuel Pahlsson and skated from theright faceoff circle past defenseman Kris Russell to the slot,where he took a shot that went between Norrena's pads but cameout to the side of the net.


Rob Niedermayer drew blue-liner Ron Hainsey to the ice andskated to the front before finding the loose puck and putting itpast the goalie's right skate for his first goal of the season.

Returning to the lineup after missing three games with a groininjury, Rob Niedermayer scored for the first time in 38regular-season games, dating back to February 6.


Nikolai Zherdev tied it for the Blue Jackets with a power-playgoal at 3:46. Hainsey took a slap shot from the blue line thatGiguere stopped, but Zherdev put the rebound into an open netfor his third of the season.


It was just the second power-play tally the Ducks have allowedat home in 35 chances this season.


In a contest that was contentious throughout, the end of thesecond period saw a pair of fights. Anaheim's Travis Moensquared of with Columbus' Jared Boll, who had knocked Moen outof the team's previous meeting with a shoulder to the head.

The Blue Jackets' Jason Chimera then fought Ducks defensemanShane Hnidy. Throw in 10-minute misconducts to Anaheim's AndyMcDonald and Columbus' Ole-Kristian Tollefsen, and 11 penaltiestotaling 50 minutes were whistled in the period.
