Oilers 2, Canucks 0 After losing eight of their previous nine games in their final season at Rexall Place, the Edmonton Oilers took another step toward repairing the damage by winning their second game in a row at home.

Ducks 4, Bruins 0 Goalie Frederik Andersen stopped 38 shots in his second shutout of the season to lead the Anaheim Ducks to a 4-0 rout of the Boston Bruins on Friday night in front of 16,707 at the Honda Center. Ryan Kesler, Rickard Rakell, Hampus Lindholm and Jamie McGinn scored for the Ducks (39-22-9), who moved within four points of the first-place Los Angeles Kings and three ahead of the San Jose Sharks in the Pacific Division.
