Brock Boeser also scored, J.T. Miller had two
assists and Arturs Silovs made 20 saves in his sixth NHL start

to six points for first place in the Pacific Division.
Olen Zellweger scored his first NHL goal, Mason McTavish also
scored and Lukas Dostal made 27 saves for the Ducks (24-47-4, 52

Ben Meyers was in the penalty box for delay of game after
sending the puck over the glass when Boeser scored to give
Vancouver a 1-0 lead at 11:26 of the first period.
Quinn Hughes took a slap shot from the top of the left circle
that Dostal saved, but the rebound came out diagonally and

for his 38th goal of the season.
Vancouver stretched the lead to 2-0 with another power-play goal
at 9:34 of the second period.

over Dostal's right shoulder.
Zellweger ended Silovs' bid for his first NHL shutout when he
entered the play late, took a pass from Isac Lundestrom and
scored from the bottom of the left circle to cut the lead to 2-1
at 3:37 of the third period.
The Ducks tied it 2-2 at 4:48 when Gustav Lindstrom brought the
