Yesterday was the freeway series for the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings and they were there for a good cause. With all of the fires in Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties, some of the profits were to raise money for the families who have been affected by the devastating fire.
It was the Ducks' second shutout in the last two meetings between the Southern California rivals. The last time they met on Nov. 4 at Staples Center, the Ducks won 1-0 on Chris Pronger's overtime goal. The only other time the Ducks have had consecutive shutouts against the Kings in 2000-01, both in Anaheim by 4-0 scores.
"If you don't score, you don't win," Kings goalie Erik Ersberg said. "[Hiller] played good in net at the other end, so it happens. We played a good team tonight and we gave it our best effort. Maybe we ran out of gas in at the end. It was like this the last game, too. We couldn't get the puck in the net."
Ersberg, whose current string of seven consecutive starts began with the previous meeting against the Ducks, made 24 saves in the rematch. Ersberg has allowed just 14 goals during the last seven games (4-2-1).
