ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jonas Hiller earned his second straight shutout with 37 saves, Bobby Ryan scored in the second period and the Anaheim Ducks handed the San Jose Sharks their fourth straight loss, 1-0 Sunday night.
Hiller thwarted three power plays en route to his fourth shutout of the season, the 10th of his career and first against San Jose. He stopped 27 shots in a 6-0 win over Columbus on Friday.
The Sharks have just five goals over their last five games since beating the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks 5-3 on Dec. 30. They have taken 129 shots on net over their last 13 periods of hockey, but have just one goal to show for it.
