Costly win of sorts for the Ducks on Friday, as they lost
Teemu Selanne to a leg injury in the first period when it appeared his own skate cut his left leg. He was helped off the ice and didn't return to the game. If he's out for any extended period of time it would obviously be a tremendous blow to Anaheim's offense, as the 38-year old forward leads the team in goals (14) and is third on the team in points (27).
As for the game itself, Anaheim took it, 3-2, in a shootout, thanks to some stellar goaltending from
Jonas Hiller, who stopped 51 shots in regulation and overtime, and all three shots he faced in the shootout. The 51 saves actually matched a franchise record, so, way to go Jonas.
The Ducks special teams provided the offense, as
Rob Neidermeyer picked up a shorthanded goal with 20 seconds to play in the first period, while
Corey Perry notched a power play goal midway through the second period, giving the Ducks a 2-0 lead.
That lead would hold up until the third, when
Kyle Brodziak put Edmonton on the board at the 6:32 mark, while
Erik Cole tied the game seven minutes later with a power play goal.
Perry scored the only goal in the shootout, giving Anaheim the win.
