The Anaheim Ducks were thoroughly out-shot, out-skated, and generally outplayed Friday night in Winnipeg. It would have been a total loss except for the otherworldly goaltending of John Gibson. As a result, they got a crucial point and moved back into playoff position with nine games left. Anaheim will need a better effort to beat the Oilers, who did the Ducks a favor last night by beating the Kings.
Vs. Edmonton This Year
All three games against the Oilers have been close this season. Edmonton has squeaked out two shootout wins, and the Ducks beat them by one goal in regulation.
