Bishop scores first NHL goal, Hurricanes defeat Ducks

ANAHEIM --Clark Bishop scored his first NHL goal and had an assist for the Carolina Hurricanes in a 4-1 win against the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center on Friday.

Brett Pesce, Justin Williams and Sebastian Aho scored in the third period, and Teuvo Teravainen had two assists for Carolina (13-11-4), which had lost three straight. Petr Mrazek made 18 saves.
"It was a great effort all the way up and down the lineup," Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "We had a lot of guys banged up, a lot of guys that were just muscling it out, and I think we deserved that win. It was nice to begin the long trip home here and at least have that in our bank."

Jakob Silfverberg scored, and John Gibson made 32 saves for Anaheim (15-11-5), which had won five in a row and had not allowed a third-period goal during the winning streak.
Pesce gave Carolina a 2-1 lead at 1:56 of the third period, scoring blocker side off a bouncing puck in the slot.

Williams scored 61 seconds later to extend the lead to 3-1 on a rebound at the top of the crease off Bishop's initial shot.
"It was one of those games where nothing we seemed to try to do had any effect on it, any positive effect," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "It was all frustration and lack of ability to execute. They were faster, quicker, and executed to a higher rate than we did."
Aho scored into an empty net at 18:46 to make it 4-1. It was his first goal in seven games, but he was more pleased with his all-around performance, which included playing center and being out on the ice for a 5-on-3 penalty kill in the third period with Jordan Staal out because of a concussion.
"We weren't really sure how that was going to work out, but, again, it was the effort," Brind'Amour said. "Even in the 5-on-3, we had to used him. He had never done that before and he looked pretty good out there, so a lot of guys rose to the occasion tonight."
Silfverberg gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead while shorthanded at 11:47 of the first period. After hitting the post on a breakaway, Silfverberg skated in front of the crease and redirected a point shot from Jake Dotchin inside the right post.
The goal was his 100th in the NHL. He is the second Ducks player to reach the milestone this season (Rickard Rakell on Nov. 23).
"It's tough on a night like this to look on the positive side, but it's an accomplishment. I'm proud of it," Silfverberg said.
Bishop tied it 1-1 at 1:53 of the second period, taking the puck to the net before running into Gibson. Initially ruled no goal, the Situation Room initiated a video review and determined the puck completely crossed the goal line prior to the net becoming displaced.
Carlyle then challenged for goaltender interference, but the call was upheld after it was determined that the actions of Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm caused Bishop to contact Gibson before the puck crossed the goal line.
"Not something that I ever pictured scoring my first NHL goal like that, but they all count, and luckily that one did," Bishop said.
