NHL: Anaheim 2, Dallas 1

DALLAS, March 19 (UPI) -- Todd Bertuzzi scored with 27 seconds remaining in regulation Wednesday, delivering Anaheim a 2-1 win over Dallas.

Scott Niedermayer scored Anaheim's other goal and Ryan Getzlaf assisted on both, boosting the Ducks to their third straight victory. Anaheim and Dallas appear headed for the fourth- and fifth-place spots in the Western Conference, so Wednesday's game was likely a playoff preview.

Anaheim moved three points in front of Dallas in the battle for the fourth spot and home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Brenden Morrow scored for Dallas, which has lost three in a row and six out of seven. Marty Turco gave up two goals on just 17 shots.
