GLENDALE, Ariz. - George Gosbee lost two of his official titles in the agreement to sell majority interest in the NHLs Arizona Coyotes to Andrew Barroway, and hes just fine with that.Gosbee went from from being chairman, governor and co-owner to just co-owner of the franchise, with Barroway taking over as governor and chairman after buying 51 per cent of IceArizona, the partnership that purchased the Coyotes last year and kept it from moving to another city.Gosbee, whose new role was announced Friday, promises that relocation is not an option for the organization. He also said Barroway, a hedge fund manager who previously tried to buy the New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils, sought to buy 100 per cent of the Coyotes before an agreement for the majority share was reached.Hes coming in now with a group of partners that understand hockey, Gosbee told reporters before Arizona took on the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night. Theres no noticeable changes (in the franchise) other than we have a lot more financial flexibility.The initial investment from Barroway will be matched by the other ownership partners, said Gosbee, who plans to remain very involved in running the team.Hes going to be governor and chairman, and thats good for him, Gosbee said. I get to enjoy a lot more hockey now.Gosbee said the team will probably lose money again this season, but hopes to turn a profit starting next year.Things that we said, that we thought were going to happen when the rest of the world was doubting us, Gosbee said when asked what attracted Barroway to club ownership. Contrarian investing is always the best type of investing.Selling every stake in the club was on the table, but a tax issue forced a restructuring of the financing, Gosbee said, and 51 per cent was agreed upon.Were protected by a lot things, Gosbee said of the other owners. Fifty-one per cent doesnt give you a hall pass to do whatever you want. Its a partnership.As for possible relocation, if it doesnt benefit the other 29 owners and ownerships groups in the NHL, it wont happen, Gosbee said. He cited the inflated values of expansion franchises, the parity in the league and the good financial health of all the clubs.The models working. Thats what were counting on, Gosbee said.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Ryan Getzlaf scored with 5.2 seconds left in overtime, Jonas Hiller made 31 saves in an emergency start to get his 18th career shutout, and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 1-0 on Friday night. Viktor Fasth was scheduled to start in goal for the Ducks, but sustained a lower body injury during the warm-ups. So Hiller got the call got his second shutout of the season. Hiller was tested right away, stopping shots by Richard Panik and Mark Barberio during a power play after teammate Luca Sbisa was sent off for interference 1 1/2 minutes after the opening faceoff. The Ducks put 42 shots on Ben Bishop, who was magnificent right to the end. Getzlaf carried the puck into the Tampa Bay zone and took a wrist shot that glanced off the bottom of Bishops arm, but defenceman Sami Salo wasnt able to sweep away the loose puck and it dribbled across the goal line before Bishop could reach back for it. The goal was Getzlafs 13th. It was the first visit to Honda Center by the Lightning since Nov. 3, 2010, when the Ducks beat them 3-2 on another overtime goal by Getzlaf. Kyle Palmieri had a chance to put the Ducks ahead with about 9 1/2 minutes left in regulation when he circled the net and attempted a wraparound with Bishop way out of position, but Salo got his stick in the way at the last instant. Less than 2 minutes later, Tampa Bay centre Tyler Johnson made a terrific deke on defenceman Bryan Allen in the left circle and went in alone on Hiller, who thwarted him at the edge of the crease. The Lightning, who have given up four short-handed goals already this season, were bailed out twice by Bishop in the second period on excellent scoring chances by Andrew Cogliano. The Ducks, who came in with the third-worst penalty-killing percentage, shut down four Tampa Bay power plays before getting their first chance with the man advantaage.dddddddddddd Each team had a potential power play nullified by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the player who was fouled. Right wing Tim Jackman made his Ducks debut a day after they acquired him from Calgary, and got into a fight with B.J. Crombeen midway through the first period during his second shift. The last time Jackman played against the Ducks on Oct. 16 at Anaheim, he received a game misconduct for butt-ending defenceman Sami Vatanen during the Flames 3-2 loss. Another of Jackmans new teammates is Sbisa, who got a five-minute major for head-butting him on Feb. 6, 2012, at Honda Center in the Ducks 3-2 shootout win. The Lightning lost the first three games of this western trip in regulation. The point they got out of this one prevented what would have been only the third time in club history that they failed to get a single standings point during a trip of four or more games. The only times it happened were Jan. 16-21, 2001 (Buffalo, Montreal, Ottawa and Columbus), and Nov. 5-11, 1997 (Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Jose and Phoenix).
