Todd Marchant continued his habit of winning key faceoffs as the Anaheim Ducks pulled off another shocker by again beating the San Jose Sharks 3-2 in San Jose to take a commanding two games to none lead in this opening series. The befuddled Sharks will now play two games in Anaheim, needing to win at least one to avoid being swept. The Ducks again killed off six penalties to keep San Jose scoreless on the power play. Bobby Ryan, Andrew Ebbett and Drew Miller all scored their first ever playoff goals. A third period goal by Jonathan Cheechoo cut the Ducks lead to 3-2, but it was too little too late as Ducks' goalie Jonas Hiller would not yield another. San Jose All-Stars Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau are in the midst of yet another headscratching post-season. The pair have but one point between them in the series and the Sharks' power play which at 24% was third overall in the regular season is a punchless 0 for 12 so far this post-season.

This is baptism by fire for first year Sharks coach Todd MacLellan. Ducks coach Randy Carlyle will now take him to school - CS

Game 1: ANA 2 SJS 0

ANA: Niedermayer, S. (PPG, 05:18 in 3rd), Getzlaf, R. (17:35 in 3rd)

Ryan Getzlaf's sharpshooter goal at 17:35 of the third period cemented the Ducks' victory in San Jose. Getzlaf, departing the penalty box, took advantage of a tip by Mike Brown off a pass from Shark defenseman Marc-Eduard Vlasic, then completed the turnover himself, and jumped into the San Jose zone, ripping a shot off the goal post that went in. Duck goalie Jonas Hiller stopped all 35 San Jose shots to cement a 2-0 shutout. The Ducks killed six penalties and enjoyed one power play goal by Scott Niedermayer midway through the third period, which turned out to be the game winner. --JB
