Cagey game sees defenses block a combined 34 shots, Canucks survive overtime penalty to win in shootout.
For the fourth time the Vancouver Canucks were the first team to visit Honda Center, and for the third time they knocked off the Anaheim Ducks in their home opener.
Alexandre Burrows' third round shootout attempt squeaked through Frederik Andersen's five hole, and Ryan Miller's swooping poke-check knocked Corey Perry's final attempt away as the Canucks took a 2-1 shootout win at Honda Center on Monday night.
For the first regular season session of three-on-three overtime Vancouver survived a hooking penalty by Alexander Edler thanks in large part to the Ducks trying to create the 'perfect' look.
