ANAHEIM, Calif. — Cory Schneider made 26 saves for his first career shutout, Manny Malhotra scored two goals and the NHL-leading Vancouver Canucks won consecutive games for the first time in four weeks, beating the Anaheim Ducks 3-0 on Sunday night.
League scoring leader Daniel Sedin got a power-play goal in the third period for the Canucks, who had alternated wins and losses for a full month before back-to-back victories in Southern California to kick off a five-game trip.
Dan Ellis stopped 13 shots in his first regulation loss in five appearances with the Ducks, whose three-game winning streak ended.
Schneider capitalized on a rare chance to play in place of starter Roberto Luongo, earning his first shutout in 29 career appearances.
