ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan ranks Kris Letang as one of the top three defensemen in the NHL.Letang justified that lofty praise in his return after missing five games with an upper-body injury, scoring a power-play goal and adding an assist as the Penguins defeated the Anaheim Ducks 5-1 on Wednesday night.Matt Murray stopped 32 shots in his season debut after breaking his hand during the World Cup of Hockey, while Patrick Hornqvist, Bryan Rust, Matt Cullen and Evgeni Malkin also scored for the Penguins.Letang scored 1:27 into the third period for his first goal of the season, flashing offensive skills comparable to that of the Penguins front-line stars. Taking a pass from Justin Schultz, Letang unleashed a quick wrist shot past a bewildered John Gibson.Letang also had a backhanded shot that was deflected up and off the crossbar by Nick Bonino before Rust used his positioning in the crease to clean it up, extending the Penguins lead to 3-1 late in the third period.Hes that impactful on the game, Sullivan said of Letang. He helps you get out of your own zone, he joins the rush, he makes plays off the rush. When he is in our lineup I think were obviously a much better team at both ends of the rink.Gibson made 29 saves, stopping a penalty shot by Scott Wilson in the third period after being bowled over by the Penguins forward. Gibson was replaced by Jonathan Bernier midway through the third period.The Ducks have been outscored 9-1 in their last two home games, Hornqvist adding the final goal midway through the third period.You dont want to dwell on it too much, its one hockey game, but the way we executed and some of the things we did out there were just out of character, said Cam Fowler, who scored the Ducks lone goal. We defended the whole time, gave them too much momentum and they were able to feed off it. They were able to do whatever they wanted to whenever they wanted to.Malkin put the Penguins ahead 7:41 into the first period, scoring his sixth goal of the season. Chris Kunitz intercepted a misplayed pass from Corey Perry to Kevin Bieksa at the blue line. Phil Kessel then found Malkin in the far circle winding up for the one-timer well before the puck left the tape on Kessels stick.Malkin, Kessel and Sidney Crosby all extended their points streaks to four games, with Kessel collecting six of his team-leading seven assists in that span. Thirteen Penguins recorded a point, Letang the only one with more than one.We were on the puck all over the rink, and when we do that were hard to play against, Sullivan said. Overall its probably one of our more complete games this year.Cullen scored 2:33 later to give the Penguins a 2-0 lead on his 40th birthday. The Ducks challenged that Tom Sestito was offside when playing a long pass from Eric Fehr before setting up Cullen, but video review was inconclusive and the play stood as called. Ducks defenseman Josh Manson whiffed on his chance to bat the puck down with his glove as it passed through the neutral zone.Ryan Kesler had an assist on Fowlers goal for his 500th career point.Game notesPenguins: Marc-Andre Fleury will start in goal against the Kings, Sullivan said.Ducks: C Ryan Getzlaf and LW Nick Ritchie did not play and are day-to-day with upper-body injuries. . Fowler is fourth in franchise history for goals by a defenseman with 38, while his 20 power-play goals is tied with Chris Pronger for third among Ducks defensemen.UP NEXT:Penguins: Visit Los Angeles on Thursday.Ducks: Host Arizona on Friday.

It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. PARIS -- Valentin Eysseric scored against his former teammates to send Nice three points clear at the top of the French league with a 1-0 win at Saint-Etienne on Sunday.Even without suspended top scorer Mario Balotelli, Nice was dangerous throughout and displayed its usual brand of attacking football. Having struggled to get past a well-organized defense in the first half, the visitors broke the deadlock after the hour-mark thanks to Eysseric, who played on loan at Saint-Etienne last season.The midfielder retrieved the ball on the edge of the area, dribbled past Loic Perrin and beat keeper Stephane Ruffier with a brilliant left-foot shot into the top corner.Though Vincent Koziello had been expected to start at Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, Nice coach Lucien Favre decided to give Eysseric the nod -- a move that paid off with the midfielders his first goal in 11 league games this season.Having slumped to its first league loss of the season before the international break, Nice bounced back with solid display. It could have added a second goal in the 65th minute when Alassane Plea sent a shot just wide, with Ruffier looking beaten.Saint-Etienne was the more threatening team in the first half and had several clear chances, with Nice goalkeeper Yoan Cardinale saving a couple of good headers.Nice reclaimed the lead from Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, which both won at the weekend.----GUINGAMP 1, BORDEAUX 1Guingamp striker Jimmy Briand scored a last-minute goal to snatch a 1-1 draw against Bordeaux.The burrly striker equalized with a header deep in added time from Lucas Deauxs cross.ddddddddddddBordeaux had the match under control after Polish defender Igor Lewczuk bagged his first goal in the French league. Lewczuk headed in the opener after finding space in the box between two defenders and connecting with a free kick from Valentin Vada after 22 minutes.The visitors wasted a chance to increase their lead in the 77th minute when striker Jeremy Menez saw his penalty kick stopped by keeper Karl Johan Johnsson.Guingamp came close to an equalizer in the next minute but it was Bordeaux keeper Jerome Priors turn to shine with a save at his right post to deny a well-taken angled shot from Briand.Missing the penalty gave them a boost, Bordeaux coach Jocelyn Gourvennec said. Then it was a struggle, with long balls into the box, and thats how we conceded in a frustrating end to the match.Fifth-placed Guingamp remained two points above Bordeaux, and 10 points behind the leaders.---MARSEILLE 1, CAEN 0Marseille secured its first win under new coach Rudi Garcia, a lackluster 1-0 victory over Caen at the Stade Velodrome. Portuguese defender Rolando scored with a late header, ending a three-game winless run for the nine-time champions.After being ostracized by former coach Franck Passi, Rolando is enjoying a new lease of life under Garcia, who has made him a key player in his defense.
