Scoring goals has been an ongoing issue for the Vancouver Canucks. The Anaheim Ducks have had little trouble preventing them of late.
The stingy Ducks attempt to ring in the new calendar year with a fourth consecutive win when they visit their Pacific Division rivals Friday night.
Though Anaheim's 67 goals rank last in the NHL, it's gotten just enough offense to support a stellar stretch from John Gibson. The 22-year-old goaltender posted a second consecutive shutout with 21 saves as the Ducks (15-15-6) extended their streak with Thursday's 1-0 victory over Edmonton.
