ANAHEIM, Calif. Irving Fryar Jersey . -- When Jakob Silfverbergs short-handed goal rattled into the Sharks empty net, the Anaheim Ducks could finally celebrate a division title that nearly got away. Just a few weeks after San Jose knocked them off the top of the standings, the Ducks clawed their way back up and cemented their spot as the Pacifics new power. Patrick Maroon scored two goals, John Gibson made 36 saves in his second NHL start, and the Ducks clinched their second straight division title with a 5-2 victory over the Sharks on Wednesday night. Corey Perry scored his 43rd goal as the Ducks finished off the second-place Sharks with a three-goal third period to earn the first back-to-back division titles in franchise history. Anaheim also set club records with 112 standings points and 257 goals. Its not a bad nights work, but the Ducks hope theyre not done. "Its great, but its also only the first step in what we want to do," Perry said. "We reached a goal that we set for ourselves, but we have bigger goals." Matt Beleskey also scored for the Ducks as they pushed one point ahead of St. Louis for the overall lead in the Western Conference, although the Blues have a game in hand. The Ducks led the overall NHL standings for much of the season until St. Louis and San Jose pushed ahead of them last month. Anaheim reclaimed the Pacific lead two weeks ago and finally finished off the Sharks, who are in the playoffs for the 10th straight season. Anaheim will face one of the Wests two wild-card playoff teams -- Minnesota, Dallas or Phoenix -- in the first round. The Ducks also would have home-ice advantage in the second round. "Home barn is always important," said Teemu Selanne, who had two assists. "I personally believe in home sweet home, but the main thing is we want to finish the season strong, and this game was a big step in that." Jason Demers and Logan Couture scored for the Sharks, who have lost four of six down the stretch. Antti Niemi allowed three goals on 19 shots before getting pulled. San Jose could have pulled within one point of the Ducks with a regulation victory, but Alex Stalock replaced Niemi midway through the second period after Maroon scored the tiebreaking goal on a stoppable shot. The Sharks couldnt rally against Gibson, who held them scoreless in the final 32 minutes. "You can look at tonight, or at something we did three or four games ago, or even before that," Sharks defenceman Dan Boyle said. "We still like our chances in the playoffs." The Sharks are locked into a first-round playoff rematch with the Los Angeles Kings, who eliminated them in a bruising seven-game series in the second round last spring. The California rivals are meeting in the post-season for the third time in four years. "It would have been great (to win the division), but were in the playoffs and we know who were going to play," San Jose captain Joe Thornton said. In the biggest game of the regular season, Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau made the mildly surprising choice to start the 20-year-old Gibson, who shut out Vancouver on Monday in his NHL debut, over longtime starter Jonas Hiller. Gibson was mostly solid in his first game at Honda Center, making several big saves in the third. "In Vancouver, I was just trying to get my feet under me," Gibson said. "Today I felt a lot more comfortable. It was for the (division) title, and it was at home to make it a little more special." Maroon had the first multigoal game of his short career, and the Ducks also got a boost from the return of U.S. Olympic defenceman Cam Fowler, who had missed 12 games since March 14 with an injury. Perry tied it for Anaheim on a drive to the net with 2.1 seconds left, holding off Justin Braun with one arm and scoring with the other. The former NHL MVP trails only Washingtons Alex Ovechkin in the league goal-scoring race. Maroon put the Ducks ahead early in the second period with a wraparound goal off a setup from Selanne, but Couture tied it with a sharp-angled shot for his 22nd goal. Selanne then sent a cross-ice feed to Maroon, who scored again 6:13 after his first goal. Beleskey increased the Ducks lead with an exceptional play, toe-dragging past a prone Brent Burns and beating Stalock for his eighth goal.

But this time, the Gunners weathered the storm. Arsene Wengers team was on the ropes in the early stages of a lively FA Cup tie, until Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored a goal against the run of the play.SAN FRANCISCO -- Depending on the clubhouse, the response to the latest overturned call at home under baseballs expanded replay system was as debatable as the rule itself. The Giants scored seven runs in the seventh inning after the replay official overturned an out call at home because they said Chicago catcher Tyler Flowers illegally blocked Gregor Blancos path to the plate, and San Francisco went on to beat the White Sox 7-1 on Wednesday. "Well take it," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. With one out in the inning, first baseman Jose Abreu fielded Joe Paniks broken-bat grounder to throw out Blanco by at least six feet. Bochy challenged the play, and umpires ruled Flowers left leg was illegally blocking the plate before the ball arrived. White Sox manager Robin Ventura argued the call and was immediately ejected, setting off an epic protest in which he repeatedly kicked dirt on the plate. "If you look at the spirit of the rule of what they are trying to do and what its actually doing its a joke," said Ventura, who unsuccessfully challenged a similar call at the plate in Chicagos 3-2 win Tuesday night in San Francisco. "They dont take into consideration that the guy was out by a longshot." San Francisco snapped a five-game losing streak as Jake Peavy (1-3) won for the first time since April 25 with Boston. Peavy had lost 12 consecutive decisions, the longest skid of his career. Peavys friend and former White Sox teammate, Jose Quintana (6-9), took the loss. "Catching those breaks, feels like I havent caught one on my day with any team Ive pitched for," Peavy said. Adam Dunn hit his 19th homer of the season into McCovey Cove in the fourth for Chicagos only run. It was one of just four hits Peavy allowed in seven innings. Peavy even changed his uniform number from 43 to 22, which he wore for his high school in Mobile, Alabama. He wore 44 with the San Diego Padres, White Sox and Boston Red Sox. Perhaps the new look changed his luck. San Francisco took advantage of the new rule, 7.13, that prohibits catchers from blocking the plate unttil possessing the ball so runners dont barrel into them. Steve Grogan Patriots Jersey. The rule gained traction after Giants catcher Buster Poseys gruesome injury in May 2011 ended his season blocking the same plate at AT&T Park. Blanco said Flowers was "definitely" blocking the plate but admitted its a tough call. Flowers believes replay officials need to have some flexibility when they make the decision. "Apparently they are interpreting this extremely black and white with no context," Flowers said. The review lasted 4 minutes and 55 seconds, and umpires also allowed Adam Duvall to advance from first to third. But even after being ejected, Ventura came back out to challenge that decision. The play was reviewed again, and umpires told Duvall to go back to second. Angel Pagan added a two-out, two-run single, and Hunter Pence and Posey each hit RBI singles. The Giants scored two more runs when centre fielder Jordan Danks and Dunn also got tangled up in right-centre going for Pablo Sandovals fly. Quintana was charged with four runs and four hits in 6 2-3 innings. Reliever Ronald Belisario was tagged for three runs, one earned, and three hits without recording an out. DUNNS DINGER It was the second time this season Dunn homered off Peavy. The pitcher said if anybody was going to take him deep, he was glad it was his friend. "But Im sure Ill have to hear about it," Peavy said. TRAINERS ROOM White Sox: Pitching coach Don Cooper, who did not make the road trip because of a recurrence of vertigo-like symptoms, is expected to rejoin the team in Chicago on Friday. Giants: Backup C Hector Sanchez (concussion) was scheduled to start behind the plate Wednesday with Triple-A Fresno for the first time during his rehab assignment.
