Blackhawks Fall To Mighty Ducks
It's a rare losing streak for the NHL-best Blackhawks who lost to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim 3-1, their second straight loss. The Ducks didn't use the Flying V to get the victory, just spectacular goal-tending from Jonas Hiller who stopped 42 of 43 shots he faced from the 'Hawks, allowing only a third period power play goal by Duncan Keith. Meanwhile, the Ducks only got off 12 shots the entire game but got two past Antti Niemi (the Ducks' third goal came on an empty netter in the closing seconds of the game). The 'Hawks get a few days of rest before hosting Columbus on Thursday (7:30 p.m., CSN) and then hitting the road for two weeks thanks to Disney On Ice.
