TORONTO -- Ducks coach Randy Carlyle wasnt exactly sentimental after winning his first game back in Toronto.Cam Fowler scored a power-play goal in the third period, lifting Anaheim over the Maple Leafs 3-2 on Monday night. Carlyle was at Air Canada Centre for the first time since he was dismissed as Leafs coach almost two years ago.I think a lot of people have made a bigger deal out of it (than I have), Carlyle said. From a personal standpoint, yeah its nice, but the bottom line is our hockey club needed the win more than I needed the win and thats really why were here.Carlyle coached almost 200 regular season games for Toronto, leading the club to its only playoff appearance since 2004. He was fired in January 2015 with the team sliding.After sitting out last season, Carlyle returned to coach the Ducks for a second time this past summer.Despite his assertions otherwise, players in the Ducks dressing room believed the win had extra meaning for him.Were all a family in here so we know what it means to him, captain Ryan Getzlaf said. Theres always a little bit of an edge that you want to win that game.Anaheim had a pair of power-play goals, including Fowlers go-ahead score. Ryan Getzlaf had the other man-up tally, and Nick Ritchie also scored for the Ducks. John Gibson made 33 saves.Former Ducks goaltender Frederik Andersen made 25 stops for the Leafs. Auston Matthews got his ninth goal in 12 games, and Nazem Kadri scored his 11th of the season.Toronto went ahead in the first period when Zach Hyman helped free the puck loose from Getzlaf along the wall. Nikita Zaitsevs point shot was then redirected by Matthews with one hand on his stick.It was Matthewss team-leading 15th goal of the year. He sits second among NHL rookies in goals (15) and points (24), trailing only Winnipegs Patrik Laine.I thought he was our best player, Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. I thought he was really good.Andersen was sharp facing his former team for the first time since a summer trade from Anaheim. He made a right pad stop on Rickard Rakells redirection in the opening moments of the second, then came up with two stops on a Ducks rush later in the period. He later shut down a break for Getzlaf and Corey Perry, setting himself square to Perrys chance from in tight.Getzlaf tied it at 1 with less than two minutes to go in the middle frame. It was an awkward power-play goal, his shot caroming off the legs of Leafs defenders Morgan Rielly and Roman Polak in front before beating Andersen.The Ducks went ahead after barely one minute had gone by in the third. The play started when William Nylander turned the puck over trying to make a move around an Anaheim player at his own blue-line. Ondrej Case eventually set up Ritchie in front for his eighth goal of the year.Toronto had an opportunity to tie it on a power play shortly after, but Gibson came up big when required. He made an emphatic glove stop of Kadri and then got in front of Matthewss one-time attempt in the slot.It was a strange shot that ultimately beat Gibson and evened the score at two, with Kadri whipping a shot from the point that banged off the leg of former Leaf Korbinian Holzer in front.Fowler put the Ducks back in front with less than seven minutes left in the third. Ryan Kesler won the faceoff, setting up Fowler for the one-time shot.Game notes Toronto went 0 for 3 with the power play. ... Toronto pulled Andersen with just under three minutes left in regulation, but could not tie the game.UP NEXTDucks: Play at Montreal on Tuesday night.Maple Leafs: Play at Colorado on Thursday night.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry grew up competing against Cam Newton in the Atlanta area.On Sunday, Berry got the best of his better-known high school rival, intercepting the reigning league MVP and returning it 42 yards for a touchdown to help the Chiefs to a 20-17 come-from-behind win over Carolina Panthers.We always had battles back in the day from 7-on-7 camps to everything, Berry said. Its good to come out on top.The Chiefs defense has been coming out on top all season.They entered the game leading the league in takeaways with 20 and added two more on Sunday -- both of those coming at key moments in the fourth quarter while the offense was struggling.You need a little spark there and we got it, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.Berrys fourth career interception return for a touchdown gave the Chiefs the spark they needed, cutting the lead to 17-14, and Marcus Peters stripped Kelvin Benjamin to set up Cairo Santos winning 37-yard field goal as time expired.It sounds as if Peters must have been listening to defensive coordinator Bob Sutton in practice.Hes a manic on that, about stripping the ball, Reid said. If you look at it close, (Benjamin) kind of juggled it just a bit and Marcus felt it and went for the rip.Here are a couple more things to know about the Chiefs and Panthers:CHIEFS PENALTIES A CONCERNFor the second consecutive week, penalty flags provided some anxious moments for Reid. Last week, it was tight end Travis Kelce, ejected after two unsportsmanlike penalties against Jacksonville. Against Carolina, Reid waited out the officials after Peters punted the ball in celebration following his game-changing strip and fumble recovery.He does a lot of great things. Hes a gifted guy, Reid said. But hes not a punter. Im going to go block the next one.The penalty went for 5 yards for delay of game -- not 15, for unsportsmanlike conduct. Cairo Santos kicked the game-winning field goal three plays later, from 37 yards.Youre talking about two emotional guys, Reid said of Kelce and Peters. I love them, but theyre giving me gray hair. Im too old for this.ddddddddddddNEWTON BACK ON THE RUNThe struggling NFC champion Panthers unleashed Newton on Sunday, giving him his most extensive action as a runner since his concussion on Oct. 2. Newton carried 12 times for 54 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown against a defense that hadnt allowed a rushing touchdown since Week 4.Newtons first carry went for 28 yards. Kansas City limited him to 26 more on 11 carries after that. Carolina finished with 99 yards rushing total.Coach kept calling my number, Newton said. We just have to find ways to run the football more, when we have to and when we want to.SMITHS NEW SLANT ON SLIDINGChiefs quarterback Alex Smith missed last weeks game against Jacksonville after a couple of hits two weeks earlier against Indianapolis. The team says Smith wasnt concussed, but he said coming into Sundays game against Carolina that he would either slide earlier -- or not at all.(Sliding) is still a tool, said Smith, who rushed four times for 13 yards against Carolina. In traffic, you want to remain a football player. Ive been playing a long time. Remain a football player, (keep) your eyes up. Its a better way to get out of those situations. Even if you get the 15-yarder (penalty), youre still defenseless to get teed-off on.PANTHERS PUNTERCarolina could be in the market for a short-term punter after Andy Lee injured his hamstring in the first quarter. The Panthers host New Orleans on Thursday, so they might need to make a move soon.Kicker Graham Gano punted four times Sunday for a 45.0-yard average. His longest went for 54 yards, although two sailed too long and went for touchbacks.Coach (Ron) Rivera is always talking about `next man up, so I just tried to step in, catch the ball and get it off, Gano said.HOT STREAKThe Chiefs five consecutive victories are part of a 17-2 record in their past 19 games. Thats the best record in the NFL during that stretch.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
