12/22/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Anaheim Ducks will continue a five-game road trip tonight without Teemu Selanne, as they travel to Vancouver to battle the Canucks at GM Place.
The Duck began their swing in Edmonton on Friday and posted a 3-2 shootout win. Jonas Hiller tied a club record with 51 saves and then stopped all three Oiler skaters in the shootout. Hiller tied the club mark first set by Mikhail Shtalenkov on March 22, 1998 and later matched by Jean-Sebastien Giguere on March 21, 2004.
Hiller was starting in place of Giguere, who returned to Montreal following the death of his father. He is expected to be with the team tonight.
Corey Perry scored in regulation and was the only successful skater in the shootout, as the Ducks won for the second time in three games while also halting a three-game road losing streak. Rob Niedermayer also recorded a goal in a victory that improved Anaheim to 8-5-1 as the road team this year.
However, Selanne is expected to miss the next four-to-six weeks after suffering a laceration to his left quadriceps muscle in a collision along the boards with Oilers defenseman Denis Grebeshkov. The 38-year-old forward went down and blood was seen on the ice as he was trying to make his way to the bench before being helped off the ice.
Selanne's absence could affect the Ducks' power-play unit, as all but one of his 14 goals this year have come on the man advantage. His NHL-leading 13 power-play goals account for more than half of the Ducks' power-play markers this year, with the club notching 24 on the season.
Two of those power-play goals by Selanne came in a 7-6 shootout loss to Vancouver on Halloween night. Selanne added two assists in that game for a four-point night, while Perry had five points on a goal and four assists. Giguere started the game but allowed four goals on 13 shots before being lifted for Hiller, who made 14 saves but was beat by Mattias Ohlund in the 13th round of the shootout.
Kevin Bieksa had a goal and two assists in that win, while Steve Bernier scored twice. Roberto Luongo got the win despite allowing six goals, but won't be in net for this game as he continues to be sidelined due to a strained left groin.
The win was Vancouver's fourth in its last five games versus the Ducks.
The Canucks wrap a four-game homestand tonight and lost for the first time on the trek on Saturday. After netting a total of nine goals in wins over Florida and Edmonton to start the residency, Vancouver's offense was shut down in a 3-1 loss to Chicago.
Daniel Sedin had the lone goal for Vancouver and Curtis Sanford made 30 saves. Sedin has three goals and two assists over his last three games.
Vancouver, which trails Calgary by one point for first place in the Northwest Division, is 9-4-1 at home this year.
