Malik Monk Jersey .com) - Matt Beleskey has helped give the Anaheim Ducks some scoring depth and hell look to stay hot on Wednesday night when his club hosts the struggling Philadelphia Flyers.St Helens bounced back from defeat to Wigan to record a 20-12 victory at Widnes in a scrappy encounter. Despite a late rally from Denis Betts side, the visitors deserved the win with Joe Greenwood, Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook and Tommy Makinson going over in the first half.Rhys Hanbury scored a try in each half for the hosts but it was not enough to stop them slipping to a second defeat over the Easter weekend, as Saints coach Keiron Cunningham maintained his record of never having lost to the Vikings as either a player or a coach. Saints started quickly and went ahead in the fifth minute after a Patrick Ah van knock-on gave them an extra six, deep in Widnes territory. They made it count as Greenwood forced his way over, despite the best efforts of Joe Mellor and Setaimata Sa to hold him up, and Luke Walsh added the extras.The Vikings hit back in the 13th minute, Hanbury taking advantage of some weak St Helens defending to dive over in the corner, before kicking the conversion to level the scores.

Rhys Hanbury went over twice for Widnes Walsh kicked the first points of the second period to extend Saints lead and it took plenty more resolute defending to keep Cunninghams side at bay as they camped out in the hosts territory.Eventually, after Widnes were penalised again, St Helens opted to take the points, Walsh kicking his second penalty of the half to leave the Vikings needing three scores to turn things around.They were given the chance to get one back as Mellor intercepted just short of his own try line and set Corey Thompson away on the break, only for Walsh to get back and make a try-saving tackle inside his own half.Hanbury gave Widnes hope with 10 minutes to play as he jinked his way through before bundling over to score, and then convert, his and the Vikings second try.Dean looked set to add a third soon after only for Matty Dawson to steal the ball on his own goal-line, Saints held firm though as Widnes threatened from the resulting penalty to all but secure the win.Thompson thought he had stolen a late try for Widnes, only for the video referee to rule it out for interference at the play of the ball.
