DUCKS SHUT OUT SECOND GAME IN A ROW, LOSE 2-0 TO CANUCKS

For the second game in a row, the Anaheim Ducks failed to score while the revamped Vancouver Canucks and Ilya Kovalchuk remain undefeated against the Ducks this season. In a penalty filled affair, the Ducks failed to score on six powerplays.

The game started off with the Ducks getting back to back powerplays and failing to convert.  They were too busy chasing the Canucks from their zone, which eventually lead to a shorthanded goal by Canucks winger Daniel Sedin.  Sedin broke through the Ducks defense and goalie Jonas Hiller had a failed pokecheck attempt which let Sedin bury the puck in an open net.



The Canucks ended the first with another goal, this time by superstar Ilya Kovalchuk on a two on one against Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer.  This was Kovalchuk's third goal in two games against the Ducks. 



While Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo did get a shutout, there were a few Duck shots that Luongo struggled with.  But that wouldn't matter, as the Canucks defense bailed on Luongo on a few occassions.
