In Anaheim, the Colorado Avalanche and Reto Berra shutout the Ducks, 3-0, Friday night.
Berra said. “I didn’t care about a score. I just stopped every puck.”
As the Ducks continue to perform poorly, the3 angst continues to rise.
“It’s pretty disappointing for everybody. There is nobody in this organization that is happy right now,” Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. “I saw signs of pulling out of it. I firmly believe if we get one goal, we’ll get three or four. Right now, it’s just a struggle to score.”
Nathan MacKinnon, Jack Skille and John Mitchell provided the Avs offense in support of Berra.
“We made a great commitment blocking those shots,” Avs coach Patrick Roy  said. “The tracking was phenomenal tonight. We talked about that this morning. We wanted to make sure we played well in our zone. We’ve got great leaders in this room and guys know that we have to play better defensively in order to win some hockey games, and that’s exactly what we did tonight.”
The Ducks face the Wild next and need to find their offense quickly.
“At the end of the day, we lost 3-0. You can get as mad as you want, but you have to go out there and do it,” Ducks forward Corey Perry said. “All we need is one bounce. It’s going to be a shot off someone’s rear end, or off their skates or sticks.”
