JONAS Hiller made 42 saves as the lowly Anaheim Ducks recorded a 3-1 road victory over the high-flying Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday in Chicago.
"Hillsy stole the game for us," Corey Perry, who had Anaheim's opening goal, said. "Simple as that."
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle agreed.
"He was probably single-handedly the most effective player on the ice," Carlyle said. "And that's what you ask from your guy.
"You don't ask for him to win you the game but you ask him to give you a chance. He went above that. He won the hockey game for us."
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville had a similar reaction after his team outshot the Ducks 43-12.
"He didn't give any loose stuff around the net," Quenneville said. "He was smothering a lot of pucks... but he was effective."
The Pacific Division's worst team took a 2-0 lead with first period goals by Perry at 7:29 and Saku Koivu nine minutes later.
Chicago's Duncan Keith trimmed the advantage with a power-play goal at 15:07 in the third period but Teemu Selanne scored an empty netter with seconds to play to earn Anaheim (20-19-7) their fourth successive win.
The loss was the second in a row for the Blackhawks (31-11-4), the runaway leaders in the Central Division.
"It showed we were working," Quenneville said of the big shot advantage.
But his players were not happy.
"It's frustrating, considering how many shots we had on the net tonight and how hard we worked for those chances," Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said.
In other games, it was: Lightning 4, Devils 2; Hurricanes 4, Senators 1; and Blue Jackets 2, Stars 0.
In Newark, New Jersey, Mike Smith made 33 saves as the Tampa Bay Lightning finished off the New Jersey Devils 4-2 on Sunday in the completion of an NHL game that was suspended two nights earlier because a lighting problem created a safety issue for the players.
Tampa Bay led 3-0 when play was suspended Friday with 9:12 left in the second period, then killed off the final 29:12 on Sunday to snap a 10-game losing streak against New Jersey.
In Raleigh, North Carolina, Rod Brind'Amour scored the winning goal, and Cam Ward made 31 saves as Carolina handed Ottawa its fourth straight loss.
