Ducks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:43:40 PST

The Ducks might very well have caught the high-flying Chicago Blackhawks at a good time Friday afternoon.

The Blackhawks, after all, arrived for the early start at Honda Center toting an eight-game winning streak, the best points percentage in the NHL and fresh off an impressive 7-2 romp at San Jose two nights earlier. Still, after a 3-0 victory over Chicago, their third in a row and fourth in five games, the Ducks have legitimate reason to feel good about themselves for perhaps the first time this season.

"When you can go out and play a game like we did and shut them down, a defensive-style game, and come away with a win, it's a huge confidence boost for us as a team," Ducks right wing Corey Perry said.

At 10-11-3, the Ducks still have a ton of ground to make...

Good teams have been bringing out the best in the Anaheim Ducks. The Chicago Blackhawks certainly did Friday. Teemu Selanne had two power-play goals, defenseman Nick Boynton also scored with the man advantage and Jean-Sebastien Giguere had his first shutout of the season, leading the Ducks to a 3-0 victory that snapped Chicago's eight-game winning streak.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere is rounding into his old form, something the Anaheim Ducks need to have happen if they expect to turn their inconsistent season around. Giguere made 27 saves, Petteri Nokelainen scored the go-ahead goal with 7:17 left, and the Ducks beat Carolina 3-2 on Wednesday night to extend the Hurricanes' road losing streak to a franchise-record 12 games to start the season.

Although Jean-Sebastien Giguere's career has changed drastically since he lost his starting job in Anaheim, the veteran goalie is eager to remind the Ducks -- or any potential suitors -- that he can still make stops when they matter. Giguere made 41 saves in his first victory of the season despite allowing Jarome Iginla's tying goal with 18 seconds left in regulation, and Teemu Selanne...

After their second game together, Joe Thornton, Dany Heatley and Patrick Marleau again raised the question why the San Jose Sharks' top three offensive threats weren't on the same line for the first 23 contests. Heatley scored his NHL-leading 18th goal and set up Thornton's go-ahead tally in the third period, leading the Sharks to a 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night.

Bill Guerin still has some goals left in him at age 39. What's surprising is he has a few left jabs and right hooks, too. Guerin ended Pittsburgh's eight-game streak without a power-play goal by scoring in the first period, Jordan Staal scored short-handed and the Penguins wrapped up Anaheim's winless four-game road trip by beating the Ducks 5-2 on Monday night.
