In Vancouver, the Anaheim Ducks’ John Gibson made 27 saves and missed a shutout by just seven minutes in a 3-1 win over the Canucks Thursday.
“As long as we win, it doesn’t really matter to me,” Gibson said.
Henrik Sedin was the lone goal scorer for Vancouver.
“Sometimes you work you butt off and lose, but when you lose knowing you could have given a bit more, it’s very disappointing,” defenseman Luca Sbisa said. “I don’t know why it happened. We had a lot of momentum going into this game, putting two wins together. It’s something with our heads, mentally. Obviously, we didn’t go into this game giving 100 percent.”
Ryan Miller made 21 saves in the loss.
Ondrej Kase scored his first NHL goal in the Anaheim win.
“It’s unbelievable,” said Kase, playing his eighth NHL game after starting the season with San Diego of the American Hockey League. “Getzlaf gave me a great pass. It was a little bit lucky.”
Jakob Silfverberg and Andrew Cogliano added goals for the Ducks.
“I thought we controlled the game for the most part and deserved to win. I know they hung in and made a game of it near the end, (but) I thought we did enough to win the whole night,” Cogliano said
