Strong defensive teams Ducks, Sharks face off
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Anaheim Ducks take on the San Jose Sharks on Sunday evening in a battle of teams which score few goals but win on strong defense and goaltending.
Both clubs are in the top 10 in the NHL in fewest goals against per game and in the bottom third of the league in scoring.
Anaheim (22-16-9) defeated archrival Los Angeles Friday night 2-1. John Gibson made 23 saves in the win, helped by his teammates' shot-blocking, which turned away 24 Kings shot attempts. The Ducks have gained two consecutive victories and are 6-3-1 in their last ten games.
