The Anaheim Ducks seeks a third straight win this season and fourth overall against the Winnipeg Jets as it continues its long homestand Sunday night. Winnipeg had lost four of five before beating Los Angeles 5-4 in a shootout Saturday in their second stop on a three-game road trip. You can catch all the action in the Jets region starting at 7:30pm ct on TSN3. Theyre a team thats (in playoff position) right now and a team that you could potentially play in the playoffs, Ducks center Andrew Cogliano said. So you always want to play strongly against teams in the Western Conference. The Jets latest win didnt come easily, though. They led 3-0 within the first seven minutes of the first period, then fell behind by a goal midway through the third before Zach Bogosian tied it less than two minutes later. Bryan Little scored the only goal in the tiebreaker as Winnipeg improved to 6-1-2 in its last nine on the road. Its tough to win on the road, and thats a good win for our club, said Paul Maurice, who is one victory shy of his 500th as an NHL coach. Its a little confidence builder for us. Ondrej Pavelec is likely to be back in net after getting Saturday off. Hes allowed four goals in each of his last three starts while going 0-2-1, and hes 1-1-2 with a 3.49 goals-against average in four career outings against the Ducks. Five of the Ducks previous six had been one-goal games before they fell 4-1 to the New York Rangers on Wednesday, dropping them to 3-2-0 on their eight-game homestand. Since beating Winnipeg 4-1 on Dec. 13, Anaheim (26-10-6) has gone 5-4-1 with each victory coming by one goal and the last four decided in overtime or a shootout. The Ducks are the only team in the NHL without a regulation loss in a one-goal game, going 20-0-6 in such contests. They werent able to come up with a point against the red-hot Rangers, though, allowing the first two goals before Francois Beauchemin scored on the power play midway through the second period. We made some bad turnovers, theres no doubt, coach Bruce Boudreau said. We gave them two goals. The Ducks spotted the Jets (21-14-7) the first goal in the most recent meeting before All-Star Ryan Getzlaf finished with a goal and an assist. That victory marked the first in five meetings that was decided by more than one goal. Kyle Palmieri scored 53 seconds into overtime to give Anaheim a 4-3 win in the first matchup this season Dec. 7. The Ducks have won four of the last five meetings overall. I expect them to be defiant because weve beaten them two times (this season), Boudreau said. Theyre going to come in here on a mission. Frederik Andersen, who is 5-1-1 with a 1.80 GAA in his last seven starts, should be in goal for Anaheim. He also will be wearing a special mask honoring Teemu Selanne, who played his final nine seasons with the Ducks before retiring after last season and will have his number raised to the rafters in a pregame ceremony. Selanne played his first 3 1/2 seasons with the first edition of the Winnipeg Jets before being dealt to Anaheim in his first tour with the Ducks, scoring a career-high 76 goals while winning the Calder Trophy in 1992-93.

Perhaps their first trip to the city of Winnipeg in 16 years can serve as the shakeup they need.PHILADELPHIA - The NHLs Olympic break is less than two weeks away but the threat of terrorism is keeping the situation volatile. After deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the league would consider pulling out of Sochi if something "significant" happens before players arrive, those set to participate are trying not to worry about that scenario. "Between the NHL and the NHLPA and the Olympic people, in communication obviously with the people in Russia, theyre going to advise us if we shouldnt go," Ken Holland of Canadas management team said Tuesday. "Im looking at the lead of the NHL. "Until they tell us were not going, Im going to Newark and going to jump on a plane and go to Sochi." A Hockey Canada spokesman said the organization had no official comment, adding nothing has changed about the situation. Charter planes are scheduled to leave for Sochi on Feb. 9, two days after the opening ceremony. Security concerns are keeping athletes on edge well before that, though Daly said in an email to the Associated Press he doesnt expect the plan to change. "Obviously, if something significant were to transpire between now and February 9 that causes us to question that conclusion, we will re-evaluate," Daly told the AP. Forward Tomas Tatar, who will represent Slovakia, read about that Tuesday morning before the Detroit Red Wings morning skate. "There would (have to) be a good reason if something happens before," Tatar said. "Obviously that would be not everythings OK there, so I would probably agree with the people here — why we should go there if something is not good? Hopefully nothing will happen and I think everythings in good hands." Olympic teammate Andrej Meszaros, a defenceman for the Philadelphia Flyers, said that possibility is in the back of his mind even if he doesnt want it to be. "It would be disappointing, thats for sure, but safety first," Meszaros said. "Theres nothing you can do about it. "Unfortunately, the world is like it is with the threats and theres nothing you can do about it. People are (ticked) off. Well see what happens in the next few days." Mark Streit, who represented Switzerland in Salt Lake City in 2002, Turin in 2006 and Vancouver in 2010, is trying to keep his focus on the Flyers upcoming schedule and not the off-chance NHL players wont go to Sochi. "Thhe NHL will do what they think is the best for the players and for our safety and for the families safety," Streit said.dddddddddddd"Thats out of (our) control. Im not really worried about that." Jimmy Howard, whos expected to be the third U.S. goaltender, is more worried about bouncing back from another knee injury. He insisted hes not thinking about Olympic contingency plans or security concerns. "Im trying not to let that consume me,"Howard said. "I look at it as this could be possibly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "Im hoping everything goes off without a hitch." U.S. forward James van Riemsdyk said after the Maple Leafs morning skate in Toronto on Tuesday he doesnt have any family members going and that its tough not to wonder about the safety of athletes in Sochi. "Theyve reassured us that theyre taking a lot of measures over there," van Riemsdyk said. "All the players want to play, thats not really the issue here. Safety is the No. 1 priority." Jakub Voracek of the Czech Republic is hoping the Russian government has spent enough money to keep everyone safe. "I think the security, its very tight there," the Flyers winger said. "Obviously its going to be a pain, probably, for the people that want to watch the games or something. But its what you got to do. "In todays world you never know what happens. You go into the mall right here and theres a shooting. You go to the movie theatre, you get shot. A lot of crazy people running around in the world today. Its not only in Russia. Youve got to make sure that the securitys very tight." While Howard hopes these are just "empty threats" against the Olympics, Holland recalled similar concerns going into Vancouver. Political concerns in that region of Russia have made this seem like a more dangerous situation. "I think in this world we live in today, unfortunately there are times that you always have concern," Holland said. "But you have to trust that the people that are in charge of security are going to be on top of things." The Players Association said in a statement "the NHLPA continues to be in contact with Olympic and security officials regarding plans for the Olympic Games in Sochi, and will work closely with all concerned to monitor matters in advance of and during the Games."
