Final
Giguere likely out when Ducks visit Coyotes
Mar 22, 2008 - 1:26 PM Anaheim (42-26-8) at Phoenix (36-33-5) 10:00 pm EDTGLENDALE, Arizona (Ticker) - The Anaheim Ducks haven't had any success against the Phoenix Coyotes recently.
That trend could continue on Saturday if Anaheim goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere is unable to play.
Anaheim has lost four consecutive games against the Coyotes, including a 3-2 shootout setback during their last meeting on March 11. Giguere made 37 saves in the loss as Phoenix overcame a two-goal deficit to rally for the win.
However, Giguere was not in net for the Ducks during a 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Friday after suffering an injury during pregame warm-ups. Jonas Hiller made 41 saves for Anaheim, which was outshot 43-13 and did not register a single shot in the third period.
Giguere, 30, has been terrific for the defending Stanley Cup champions this season, posting a 33-17-6 record with a 2.11 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage.
The Coyotes fell to 0-3-1 over their last four games on Thursday, enduring a 6-5 shootout loss to the lowly Los Angeles Kings. Five different players notched goals for Phoenix, which outshot the Kings, 20-5, in the third period before failing to record a shot on net in overtime.
