ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)-- The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim ended their own winless streak and the St. Louis Blues' unbeaten stretch.

Marty McInnis got the go-ahead goal and Paul Kariya scored his first power-play goal in nine games as the Ducks snapped a seven-game winless slide and ended the Blues' eight-game unbeaten streak with a 3-1 victory.

	Anaheim's Matt Cullen bears down on Blues goaltender Jamie McLennan on Friday night.

"St. Louis is a very good team, so you've got to match their work ethic," Kariya said. "They've got two great defensemen in Chris Pronger and Al MacInnis and they're very tough to play against.

"They've got a lot of offensive talent and they work hard, so you can see why they're number one in the league. But we worked real hard tonight, stuck with our system and got balanced scoring."

Guy Hebert, who played for the Blues until the Ducks made him their first pick in the 1993 expansion draft, made 36 saves, and Ladislav Kohn ended a 12-game goal-scoring drought to help hand the Blues only their third loss in 17 games (10-3-4).

Stephane Richer played his first game with the Blues after being obtained on Thursday from the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 15-year veteran right wing, playing for his fourth NHL team, assisted on Pierre Turgeon's second-period goal.

"I'm glad this first one is over," Richer said. "Personally, I was very nervous because it was the first game, and I need more time to feel comfortable around the guys.

"It's been a long day. I left Tampa at 5:30 in the morning and tried to get here in time. It was a tough loss for us, especially since the team's been playing so well lately."

Richer's new teammates are glad to have the two-time 50-goal scorer, who helped lead Montreal and New Jersey to Stanley Cup championships.

"He's been around a long time and he's got tremendous skills," Scott Young said. "I've played against him over the years, and I know he's got a great shot and great speed. We like to move the puck tape-to-tape and play a good transition game, so he should fit in well with our system."

McInnis opened the scoring 4 1/2 minutes into the second period with his eighth goal. Antti Aalto, playing for the first time in 16 games since spraining his left elbow on Dec. 4, sent the puck behind the net while taking a hard check against the right boards. McInnis then converted Mike Leclerc's cross-ice pass, beating Jamie McLennan to the stick side.

Kariya made it 2-0 at 10:15 of the period, scoring his 19th goal just 14 seconds into a two-man advantage. Teemu Selanne carried the puck around the left circle and set up Kariya with a little backhanded flip through the crease.

"If we score on the power play, I like our chances to win games," Hebert said. "As long as we get some traffic in front of their goalie and get some pucks from the point, eventually some are going to go in for us."

It could have been worse for the Blues, but McLennan slowed the Ducks' momentum with sprawling saves against Leclerc and Jeff Nielsen during the next minute.

Hebert stopped the first 25 shots by the Blues, who took 14 in each of the first two periods after recording only 16 in Thursday night's 3-2 victory at Los Angeles.

But Turgeon narrowed the gap to 2-1 at 14:52 of the second with his 22nd goal and 100th since joining the Blues in a trade from Montreal in October 1996. He stuffed a rebound under Hebert after the Ducks' goalie stopped Richer's wrist shot from the top of the left circle.

Kohn restored Anaheim's two-goal margin at 2:08 of the third period with his third goal, helping the Ducks beat St. Louis at home for the first time in seven tries (1-5-1). Kohn beat McLennan high to the glove side with a 15-foot wrist shot after Matt Cullen set him up with a slick drop-pass between his legs.

MacInnis, last season's Norris Trophy winner as the NHL's top defenseman, left the game with a bruised chest after getting slammed into the boards by Leclerc behind the St. Louis net early in the third period.
