CARDIFF -- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was the ultimate super-sub in his 11 years at Manchester United, his lethal finishing snatching priceless league points and famously winning his team the Champions League in 1999. Now, he is back in the Premier League and on a very different kind of rescue mission -- saving Cardiff from relegation. The 40-year-old Solskjaer was hired as Cardiffs new manager on Thursday, swapping job security at Molde and a settled family life in his native Norway for the high-pressure world of footballs richest league. "I felt I needed to be back here," Solskjaer said of his return to the Premier League. "I wish I was 25 again and playing in the Premier League," he added. "Time ticks for everyone so I cant -- now Im a lucky man to be a manager in the Premier League." Nicknamed the "Baby-faced Assassin" during his time at United from 1996-2007, it was a grey-haired Solskjaer who was presented at Cardiff City Stadium as the replacement for Malky Mackay, who was fired last week after losing a power struggle with the Welsh clubs Malaysian owner, Vincent Tan. Solskjaer has signed a rolling, season-by-season contract, with his first task to ensure Cardiff retains its Premier League status following its return to Englands top flight for the first time in 51 years. Cardiff is 17th in the 20-team Premier League -- a point and a place above the relegation zone after 20 games. If he achieves that, his next aim will be to establish the team from the Welsh capital as a force in the division. And he is pledging to do so by playing an attacking brand of football modeled on the sides of Alex Ferguson, who was his manager at United in that trophy-laden decade when Solskjaer won six league titles, two FA Cups and the Champions League. Naturally, Solskjaer spoke to Ferguson before accepting the job at Cardiff, which is increasingly perceived in Britain as a tough role because of Tans reported meddling in team affairs. "When theres a big decision to make, you rely on certain people you trust," Solskjaer said. "I trusted him with my football career, to manage my career, and I trust him now as well." Solskjaers career, which reached its peak when he diverted home Uniteds injury-time winner in a 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich in that most dramatic of Champions League finals, ended in 2007 after he failed to recover from a serious knee injury. He remained at United in a coaching and ambassadorial role, however, and went on to become the clubs reserve-team manager. He coached Molde -- his former club -- from 2011, winning back-to-back titles in his first two seasons and then the Norwegian Cup in his third. Solskjaer was always tipped to make a return to the Premier League sooner rather than later, and was linked with vacant roles at Aston Villa and Blackburn only to stay in Norway for family reasons. He was immediately installed as favourite to succeed Mackay after the Scot was fired on Friday and held talks with Tan and chairman Mehmet Dalman at Arsenals Emirates Stadium on Wednesday before the teams match against the Premier League leaders. Dalman said Solskjaers name was the "only one name in my head from the very beginning." "He is coming here to prove something to himself and to Cardiff," Dalman said. "I had no doubts from day one, so I do feel like the cat that got the cream." Working under Tan may prove to be challenging, with Mackay barely communicating with his owner by the end of his time in charge. Since buying Cardiff in 2010, Tan has alienated some supporters by changing the clubs colours from blue to red, adopting a new crest and then removing Mackay, who had guided the team to a League Cup final in 2012 and the Premier League a year later. "When I went to Manchester United, it was a new experience for me; when I went back to Molde with the English influence I had, that was a cultural difference for people back in Norway," Solskjaer said. "Now when I come here, I want to create a culture here too. The communication between me and Mehmet and me and the owner will be crucial. Communication and dialogue is the key in any organization." Solskjaers first game in charge is against Newcastle in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday. He will return to Old Trafford on Jan. 28 for a league match against United.

The Ducks have lost two of three since winning seven in a row, held to just two goals over that span. They shut out the Chicago Blackhawks 1-0 on Tuesday, but were then blanked 2-0 by the St. Louis Blues two nights later. Jake Allen made 24 saves for the Blues, while John Gibson came up with 27 saves in the loss. Gibson was coming off a 38-save shutout effort versus the Blackhawks. Our giveaways were immense out there, said Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau. Unforced errors, thats the thing that bugs you. The Ducks had averaged 3.43 goals per game over their winning streak and tonight face a Stars club that ranks 27th out of 30 teams in yielding 3.56 goals per game. Dallas has been idle since its own loss to the Blues on Tuesday, a 4-3 overtime setback. St. Louis got the winner on the power play as Tyler Seguin was called for high-sticking just 14 seconds into the bonus frame. Seguin and Trevor Daley both had a goal and an assist in regulation and defenseman Jamie Oleksiak had a goal as well. His first career NHL tally came at 13:10 of the first period, but the Blues countered just 35 seconds later to start a back-and-forrth affair.dddddddddddd We had just scored, said Lindy Ruff. We made it easy on them. We cut the ice into about three-quarters and said, Here, were going to give you a little bit of an opportunity. Lehtonen made 23 stops in Dallas second straight loss, though the club does have a point in seven of its first nine games (4-2-3). Lehtonen is 4-0-3 with a 2.90 goals against average and .908 save percentage this season, while backup Anders Lindback has started both regulation losses, giving up nine goals on 60 shots. Dallas will visit the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, so it is unknown if Lehtonen or Lindback will start tonight. Lehtonen is 9-7-3 with a 2.41 GAA and .918 save percentage in 19 starts versus the Ducks, while Lindback is 1-1-0 with a 2.62 GAA and .920 save percentage in three meetings, including two starts. Frederik Andersen figures to get the call tonight for the Ducks for the second half of back-to-back games. He won his first six starts this season before a loss to San Jose on Sunday, and has a 1.70 GAA and .940 save percentage on the season. Andersen beat the Stars the only other time he faced them, stopping all 24 shots faced over 40 minutes of relief. The Ducks have lost three of their last four to the Stars overall as well as five of seven and nine of their last 13 in Dallas.
