For the second straight game the Ducks were held scoreless. Their lack of offensive production continued as the Ducks fell to the Avalanche 1-0. This was Colorado’s fifth straight win and their first against the Ducks this year. The Ducks won the season series three to one, but their lack of offense didn't help silence the critics at all.
Jose Theodore made 27 saves as he helped conclude the shutout for the Ducks. This was Theodore's second shutout of the season and the twenty-fifth of his career. On the other side of the ice, Jonas Hiller made his third consecutive start in the place of Jean-Sebastien Giguere. Hiller made 29 saves and gave up one goal as he went on to lose his second consecutive game. The only goal on the night came 11:59 into the second period as Wojtek Wolski scored his first goal in the past fifteen games. He was assisted by Andrew Brunette and Paul Stastny. The best chance for the Ducks to finally get on the board came early on in the game when Cory Perry had a break away against Theodore. Theodore however was able to make a nice save and from there on out keep the Ducks scoreless. The Ducks now look to end this drought on Sunday as they take on the Canadiens.
