Hiller


Jackets



Starting Goaltender: Jonas Hiller Opposing Goalie: Steve Mason

This is just Hiller's 3rd st
art in 11 games.

In the first, the Ducks get the first power play of the game Kristian Huselsis tripped up
Kyle Calder.

Steve Mason made a save as Marchant was looking for it but he got the whistle. Saved by
the whistle. Hiller made two great saves deflectiong both of them away. Ryan Whitney's
shot from the blue line hit the post crystal clear sound. Mason looked confused when it hit.

Hiller hasn't so much been challenged in the first few minutes of the period only about
twice.

Jared Boll and Sheldon Brookbank get into a fight, as Boll charged Todd Marchant; Boll stood
up for Boll but the penalty is even up as Brookbank got a roughing call.

Hiller gobbled up the puck as Vermette turned and shot it. Hiller robbed Dorsett with a glove
save, he aggressively moved off the line and gloved it off. Hiller is wearing new glove/
blocker.

Dorsett and Brown get it a fight a very good one too. Brown won it!

Vorcek spun and Hiller was on his knees as he was cutting off the corners and made the save.

Steve Mason had a shot on him from a pass from Perry to Getzlaf. Dan Sexton scores on a
rebound, this is his fourth goal in five games. Rebond game from Saku Koivu.

Hiller made another great save on Vorcek

In the 2nd,

Hiller has held all shots and his defense has helped. The defense has improved a lot frm the
beginning. He made a excellent save on Tyutin's shot. Hiller made another big stop on Tyutin
on the penalty kill penalty to Sheldon Brookbank for crosschecking Rick Nash.

The puck stuck to Hiller as he made a save on the Jackets.

Bobby Ryan scores as he beautifully stick handles it past Mason who was down on one knee.
Stickout out his glove hand but Bobby handled it left to right and into the gaping net.
An impssoible goal to stop for Mason. R.J. Umberger puts it past Hiller who was
caught half way at the corner as it went off his leg pad Umberger got it under the crossbar.
Hiller and the Ducks surrenderd the goal 19 seconds from Bobby's highlight goal.

In the 3rd,

Umberger hit the post and the fans thought they had a goal but they did not. The Ducks get
two penalties Koivu was called for tripping, and then before the penalty expires for Koivu
Nokelaien is called for hooking.

Hiller made a leg save as Torres tried to stuff in. Hiller holds the puck at his chest from
Chimera's shot.

Hiller made a huge save denying Torres on the rebound. Jan Hadek takes a penalty and gave
the Ducks a 2nd Power play of teh game tripping up Calder. And a beautiful pass from Ryan
Whitney as Perry has a one timer on Mason and buries it. His goal put the Ducks up 3-1.

Hiller made a glove save on the Blue Jackets. He wisely held on to it. Hiller went to play
the puck and was upended behind the net. Brookbank saved Hiller and helped keep the game at
3-1.

Hiller made a huge save as he helps lead the Ducks to their first regulation in a long time.
He helps the Ducks get their first road win since Oct 28 against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Quotes from Boys in the Crease: (Got his interview quotes best I could)

"Espicially after losing that game like we did last night it's good to come back. If you have some
good saves instead of goals against it really helps.....if you want to stop Rick Nash you
have to stop the puck."
