The Vancouver Canucks gave Ryan Miller a rare night off, after he faced 44 shots last night against the Kings.
It turned out to be a wise choice, as the Canucks allowed another 44 shots against the Anaheim Ducks this evening. With Jacob Markstrom still nursing an injury, Richard Bachman made his first start for Vancouver this season.
Bachman has played almost the entire year with the Utica Comets, posting a 2.60 goals-against average and .909 save percentage. His last start with the big club came back on Oct.
