ANAHEIM, Calif. -- If the goals arent going to come in bunches, best make them timely.At least, thats what worked for Hampus Lindholm on Friday night.Lindholm got his first goal of the season with 5:38 remaining, helping the Anaheim Ducks beat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 after blowing a two-goal lead.Nick Ritchie found Lindholm alone on the opposite circle and fired a sharp pass that Lindholm slapped in over goalie Martin Jones left shoulder.I came in on the left side and they just kind of lost him, Ritchie said. He was wide open and slapped it in there.Goals by Brent Burns and Kevin Labanc brought San Jose back after Rickard Rakell and Antoine Vermette scored in the first period for Anaheim.Anaheim is 5-1-1 in its past seven games, including two wins over San Jose.The 22-year-old Lindholm held out this season before signing a six-year contract extension in late October. He didnt play his first game until Nov. 9 and got his first goal in 15 contests.I dont think it was pretty tonight, but we got the win, Lindholm said.It was the third time the teams had met this season, and all three games have been decided by one goal.We battled back and I thought the game could have gone either way, Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. Were just finding our way to lose right now instead of win.It was a big game for Anaheim goalie Jonathan Bernier. In his last start, he gave up eight goals to Calgary, but Friday, he had 22 saves and withstood a frantic final attack after San Jose pulled its goalie with 2 minutes left.He played well the last time we were in San Jose and got us the win, coach Randy Carlyle said. Berny was looking for some kind of opportunity after the game in Calgary and I felt we owed him that.Jones stopped 29 shots for the Sharks.San Jose tied it early in the second period when Labanc slipped a shot under Berniers left leg. It was the 20-year-olds third goal of the season.We had some good looks, Sharks center Joe Pavelski said. We have to start putting them in the net.The Ducks nearly completed a dominant first period with a 2-0 lead, but Burns got his 12th goal of the season with 6 seconds left by slapping a shot past Bernier.Anaheim opened the scoring 4:44 in after Shea Theodore fired a shot from just beyond the midpoint of the two circles. Jones deflected the shot, but Rakell snagged the rebound and wrapped it around and behind Jones.Rakell, another late signing, has 11 goals in his 17 games since joining the Ducks.Hes a really good weapon, Lindholm said. He knows where to put (the puck). Its fun to watch. Hes really a skilled guy.The Ducks went up 2-0 after Theodore came streaking down the right side and fired a perfect pass to Vermette, who snapped it past Jones for his fifth of the season.Game notes The Ducks are 60-59-11 against the rival Sharks. ... Anaheims Joseph Cramarossa fought San Joses Tommy Wingels about five minutes into the first period.UP NEXTSharks: Host Carolina on Saturday.Ducks: Host Ottawa on Saturday.

I cannot remember the start.Hoosiers coach Tom Crean sure did.The most important thing for us was to get off to a really good start defensively, he said.Liberty (1-2) tried to fight back with 3-pointers, but made it worse by continually missing. The Flames were 5 of 27 (18.5 percent) from beyond the arc, including 1 of 17 (5.9 percent) in the first half. Indiana finished 9 of 21 (42.9 percent).Thats one thing we wanted to definitely focus on, no matter who were playing, play like were us and not play to the opponent, said Blackmon, who is averaging 23 points and has 14 3-pointers.Robert Johnson added 13 points for Indiana and OG Anunoby had 10 points and 11 rebounds, the first double-double of the sophomore forwards career. Anunobys energy was noticeable at both ends on back-to-back possessions when he blocked a shot three rows deep into the stands and then threw down a two-handed dunk off a rebound.Were not where we want to be, Anunoby said of the Hoosiers defense, but we know well get better.Crean had stressed the importance of rebounding before his Hoosiers seized a 55-20 advantage on the boards.Tonight, it was more about, `Lets get on the glass, Crean said. `Lets get on the glass offensively. Lets get on the glass defensively. Lets make sure our effort and energy is really good there.Crean thought his teams season-opening trip to Hawaii eight days ago had his players jet-lagged earlier in the week. The legs weere fresher against the Flames as the Hoosiers hounded Liberty into 26 turnovers.ddddddddddddWe try to be disruptive in passing lanes and box out and just pressure the ball, Anunoby said.Libertys John Dawson, who entered with a team-best 14.5-point average, scored just two points on 1-of-7 shooting. No Liberty player scored in double digits.McKay was overly effusive in his praise of the Hoosiers.Indiana is really impressive, the coach said. I sat on an ACC bench the last six years and saw a lot of quality teams and Indiana is as good as I have seen in years.They have everything; size, depth, strength, skill, unselfishness. That is a terrific team.ADVANTAGE BY 3SIndiana has made 35 of 79 3-pointers (44.3 percent) with eight different players contributing at least one basket from long range.
