Herzlich Willkommen » Johnson to San Francisco

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Anaheim Ducks will try to get their struggling offense on track Friday night as they visit a Dallas Stars club that has given up its fair share of goals this season. The Ducks have lost two of three since winning seven in a row, held to just two goals over that span. They shut out the Chicago Blackhawks 1-0 on Tuesday, but were then blanked 2-0 by the St. Louis Blues two nights later. Jake Allen made 24 saves for the Blues, while John Gibson came up with 27 saves in the loss. Gibson was coming off a 38-save shutout effort versus the Blackhawks. Our giveaways were immense out there, said Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau. Unforced errors, thats the thing that bugs you. The Ducks had averaged 3.43 goals per game over their winning streak and tonight face a Stars club that ranks 27th out of 30 teams in yielding 3.56 goals per game. Dallas has been idle since its own loss to the Blues on Tuesday, a 4-3 overtime setback. St. Louis got the winner on the power play as Tyler Seguin was called for high-sticking just 14 seconds into the bonus frame. Seguin and Trevor Daley both had a goal and an assist in regulation and defenseman Jamie Oleksiak had a goal as well. His first career NHL tally came at 13:10 of the first period, but the Blues countered just 35 seconds later to start a back-and-forth affair. We had just scored, said Lindy Ruff. We made it easy on them. We cut the ice into about three-quarters and said, Here, were going to give you a little bit of an opportunity. Lehtonen made 23 stops in Dallas second straight loss, though the club does have a point in seven of its first nine games (4-2-3). Lehtonen is 4-0-3 with a 2.90 goals against average and .908 save percentage this season, while backup Anders Lindback has started both regulation losses, giving up nine goals on 60 shots. Dallas will visit the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, so it is unknown if Lehtonen or Lindback will start tonight. Lehtonen is 9-7-3 with a 2.41 GAA and .918 save percentage in 19 starts versus the Ducks, while Lindback is 1-1-0 with a 2.62 GAA and .920 save percentage in three meetings, including two starts. Frederik Andersen figures to get the call tonight for the Ducks for the second half of back-to-back games. He won his first six starts this season before a loss to San Jose on Sunday, and has a 1.70 GAA and .940 save percentage on the season. Andersen beat the Stars the only other time he faced them, stopping all 24 shots faced over 40 minutes of relief. The Ducks have lost three of their last four to the Stars overall as well as five of seven and nine of their last 13 in Dallas.

The clubs former starting quarterback, assistant and head coach returned Thursday as its receivers coach.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills crossed off a draft need by acquiring running back Bryce Brown in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. The teams swapped seventh-round picks in this years, with the Eagles moving up five spots to land the 224th selection. The Bills also gave up a conditional draft pick -- either a fourth-rounder next year or a third-round selection in 2016. In landing Brown, the Bills filled a need for depth without having to address it in the draft. Hell serve in a backup role behind co-starters Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller. The Eagles, by comparison, had what coach Chip Kelly called "a logjam" at running back. Brown was also regarded as expendable in Philadelphia because his side-to-side running style didnt fit Kellys offence. Kelly and Bills director of player personnel Jim Monos both said the trade had been in the works for the past month. Brown has 190 carries for 878 yards and six touchdowns in 32 games in two seasons with the Eagles. He overcame fumbling issues during his rookie season to finish with 564 yards rushing and four touchdowns in 16 games, including four starts. Brown sset the Eagles single-game rookie rushing record in his first start, when he had 178 yards and two scores against Carolina on Nov.dddddddddddd 26, 2012. He followed that up a week later with 169 yards rushing and two scores at Dallas. In Buffalo, Brown joins an offence that ranked second in yards rushing last season. "Yeah, I was definitely surprised," Brown said. "But I think its a great opportunity for me to come in and be able to contribute any way that I can. Im excited about the journey. And I cant wait to get started." This was the latest in a series of trades the Bills have made over the past month. On Friday, Buffalo dealt receiver Stevie Johnson to San Francisco. Johnson became the odd-man out in a crowded group of receivers after the Bills opened the draft by trading up five spots to select Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins with the No. 4 pick. Last month, Buffalo gave up a sixth-round draft pick to acquire receiver Mike Williams in a trade with Tampa Bay. On Friday, the Bills swapped second-round draft picks and picked up an additional fifth-round pick (153rd overall) in a trade with St. Louis. ' ' '
