Theodore, Avs stifle Ducks

Fri 7th, March 2008

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Jose Theodore stopped 27 shots to record his second shutout of the season and 25th of his career, as the Colorado Avalanche blanked the Anaheim Ducks, 1-0, at the Pepsi Center.

Wojtek Wolski scored for the Avalanche, who have won a season-high five straight games. Andrew Brunette and Paul Stastny collected the helpers.

Colorado is in seventh place in the Western Conference with 78 points, but trail idle Calgary and Minnesota, which lost 3-2 at Carolina on Thursday, for first place in the Northwest Division.

Jonas Hiller allowed one goal on 30 shots for the Ducks, who were shutout for the second consecutive night. Anaheim lost 3-0 at Chicago on Wednesday.

Anaheim has 83 points on the season and sits in the fifth spot in the Western Conference.

Wolski's 15th goal of the season broke a scoreless tie. Off a 3-on-2 rush, Brunette fed a streaking Wolski, who buried the puck behind Hiller with 8:01 remaining in the second period.

In the final minute of regulation and with Hiller on the bench in favor of an extra skater, Chris Kunitz was called for holding the stick, effectively killing any chance the Ducks had at netting the equalizer.
