DUCKS DOMINATED BY THRASHERS IN 3-0 LOSS

After their last encounter, the Anaheim Ducks never would have expected a Kovalchuk-less Atlanta Thrashers team to dominate them like they did, but a Tobias Enstrom penalty shot got things started early for the Thrashers.

Things didn't start well for the Ducks, as winger Corey Perry took a boarding penalty only two minutes into the game.  A few minutes later, Enstrom was tripped up on a breakaway.  That lead to a penalty shot where Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller attempted a failed pokecheck, as Enstrom read the play and put the puck into an open net.

Two fights in the second period could not give the Ducks the momentum they needed to get back into the game.  Everything soon fell apart for the Ducks, as they couldn't get the puck out of their own zone for almost the entire game.  The Ducks were out played, out hit, and failed to convert on three powerplay attempts.
