    The Anaheim Ducks won consecutive games against the two players who shared the goal-scoring title last season, Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos and Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby. That should give them and goalie Jonas Hiller the confidence to face anyone.

    Bobby Ryan, Ryan Getzlaf and Saku Koivu scored during a 6:51 span of the second period to break open a scoreless game, and the Ducks overcame two goals by Crosby to beat the Penguins 3-2 on Friday night.

    Lubomir Visnovsky had two assists and Hiller made 30 saves, helping Anaheim record consecutive victories for the first time this season.

    "That's the type of game that can make the little hair coaches have turn gray," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "But we found a way to win, and that's the bottom line. It's two points. Hopefully it's a stepping stone, and we can get some confidence and build on it. We haven't been enamored with positives this year, and rightfully so. We want this building to be a tough building for an opposing team to come into and play."

    Only good positive is that Crosbys starting to rack up points,but Ducks are doing pretty good with defeating the likes of Tampa Bay and Penguins.
