GLENDALE, Ariz. - Shane Doan skated toward Frederik Andersen, sending a shot he intended to put between the goalies legs. Instead, Doans stick broke and the blade sailed over Andersens shoulder.Confused by what happened, Doan glanced back just in time to see the puck trickle over the line. Even then, Arizonas captain wasnt sure if the goal counted because of the broken stick.It did, giving Doan his first shootout goal since 2012 and the Coyotes a rare winning streak.Doan scored the only goal in the shootout with the broken stick, Devan Dubnyk stopped 36 shots and the Coyotes beat the Anaheim Ducks 2-1 on Saturday night.In your head, youre like: Did that really just happen? Is it going to work? Doan said. When I saw him point at the net, I was pretty excited.Zbynek Michalek scored in the first period and Arizona played well in its own end against one of the NHLs most explosive teams.Dubnyk was sharp from the start and gave the Coyotes a chance with some big saves in the third period when Anaheim picked up the pressure.After both teams failed to score the first three rounds of the shootout, Arizona coach Dave Tippett sent out Doan for the fourth.He hadnt taken a shot in a shootout this season and appeared to have no chance at scoring when his stick broke on the shot. But with the blade distracting Andersen as it sailed past, the puck trickled toward the right post and just sneaked over the line before Anaheims goalie could react.Too bad you cant get a save for stopping the blade, Andersen said. For a split second, that was my reaction (following the blade), it happened so fast. Yeah, thats a weird goal.Andersen was sharp after the holiday break, stopping 28 shots and giving up two goals on screens — one by Sam Gagner on Michaleks goal, the other by Doans stick.Rene Bourque scored for the Ducks, who are still undefeated in one-goal games (17-0-6) despite the fluky shootout goal.More power to them, Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. Its a lucky goal, but they got it.Anaheim was arguably the NHLs best team before the holiday break, rising to the top of the NHL with 51 points while tying for the league lead with 23 wins.The Coyotes have been one of the leagues worst teams, struggling at both ends of the ice to lurk near the bottom of the Western Conference. Arizona entered the break with 12 wins — five of those against Edmonton after beating the struggling Oilers 5-1 on Tuesday night.The Ducks jumped on Arizona early, scoring in the first period when Bourque beat Dubnyk on a one-timer from just outside the crease after Ryan Getzlaf juked his way through Arizonas defence.Michalek answered 1:13 later with a hard shot from near the blue line that Andersen had trouble seeing as Gagner skated past.The score held up through the second period, thanks to the goalies.Andersen had some tough stops, splaying out on one to rob Mikkel Boedker on a rebound. Dubnyk was solid, too, the highlight a snatching glove save on Patrick Maroons shot from the left circle.Dubnyk made a few more tough saves and got a break early in the third, when a shot by Andrew Cogliano got by him but hit the crossbar. Dubnyk stopped 18 shots in the period, including a blocker stop on Maroon with a second left in regulation.Andersen made another big save late in overtime, stopping Antoine Vermette on a semi-breakaway.That set the stage for Doans stick-breaking winner, giving Arizona consecutive wins for the first time since beating Vancouver and Edmonton on Nov. 14 and 16.Ive seen a lot of things in this game for a long time and never seen that before, Tippett said. I just watched the replay and you couldnt do it again if you tried it a thousand times.Notes: The game included the players with the three longest active consecutive games streak: Cogliano (577), Vermette (428) and Arizona defenceman Keith Yandle (420). ... Doan played game No. 1,350, passing Kirk Muller for 45th on the NHLs career list. ... ... Arizona LW Lauri Korpikoski returned after missing four games with a lower-body injury.

WINNIPEG -- Robert Marve knows that when you give Winnipeg Blue Bomber fans something to cheer about, you feel the love. Marve is one of three quarterbacks coach Mike OShea says are in the running to back up starter Drew Willy for the Bombers. He spent a scant few minutes on the field last Thursday at the end of a 24-22 loss to the Toronto Argonauts but didnt waste a second. He rushed for 17 yards and connected with three out of four passes, including one for a touchdown to rookie receiver Donavon Kemp. It game fans a reason to cheer, and they responded in person and on Twitter. "I did get some Bomber love," he said Thursday after practice. "That was nice. The fans are awesome and I appreciate all the support." Marve will get another chance to play Saturday when the Bombers visit the Calgary Stampeders in Calgary, but coach Mike OShea couldnt say how much. "Well see all four," he said. "Now how the times broken down, well see how it all plays out. But the plan right now is, as I said yesterday, to give Drew all the time he needs to feel comfortable and for the offence to get comfortable with him." Willy also didnt sound too concerned Thursday about how much time he will get as the team plays its last pre-season game before their CFL home opener against the Argonauts June 26. He had two seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in a backup capacity and at least on Thursday was getting a lot more playing time in practice. OShea insists the role of backup in Winnipeg is still very much up for grabs. In terms of CFL experience, Max Hall would seem to have the inside track. HHe finished last season as the pivot the Bombers turned too most often as they struggled to find a way to win.dddddddddddd But they also brought in Marve and Brian Brohm to audition. At just 25, Marve is the youngest of the three. A high-school star in Florida, his college career was marred by three operations to repair three tears of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Likely as a result, he was undrafted in the 2013 NFL Draft but attended the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. He insists his knee feels better after this last operation than it has since it was first injured and he doesnt let the injury in any way dictate how hes going to play. "No, Im a loose cannon. I cant play holding anything back. And as you kind of saw on that one drive Im a pump up guy. I like to run around and make some things happen. "So I felt good in the game. My knee felt fine when I was running so Im ready to go physically." His last operation was about a year ago and he finished his college career at Purdue before having it. Among the cuts the Bombers announced Thursday was their No. 1 draft pick in 2012, offensive lineman Tyson Pencer. Although Pencer, who was taken third overall in that years CFL draft, has spent much of his time with the Bombers on an injured list, OShea said they have seen enough to know he was not going to make the team. They also released import defensive linemen Stafford Gatling and Louis Nzegwu, import offensive lineman Quentin Saulsberry and another draft pick, defensive back Kris Robertson, who they selected in the second round last year.
