Jonas Hiller G ANA
17 Days Anaheim Ducks Comment

Jonas Hiller started his fourth straight game in net, stopping 46 shots in the Ducks' overtime loss Monday night.

Hiller was probably the best player on the ice for most of the game and the Ducks probably wouldn't have gotten to overtime if not for him. In four games this series, Hiller's really only had one sub-par performance, which is why backup Viktor Fasth is likely to remain on the bench for the remainder of the series. "He's played great for us the entire series. I think going forward, he's definitely going to be our guy. I think tonight he played exceptional as always," Kyle Palmieri said Monday night.

Jonas Hiller stopped 46 of 49 shots in the Anaheim Ducks' 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night.

It's really hard to fault Hiller for this one as the Wings threw puck after puck at him, racking up 41 shots before overtime even began. The Swiss netminder was up to the challenge, consistently turning away Detroit's point shots and keeping the Ducks in the game before Damien Brunner batted home a loose puck off a rebound in overtime. The series is now tied at 2 and has all the feeling of a seven-game classic.

Hiller stopped all 23 shots that the Red Wings threw his way in Game 3 en route to a 4-0 win. He will obviously be back in goal for Game 4 after the shutout. His 1.99 GAA ranks eighth amongst playoff goalies while his 9.22 SV% is 11th.

Jonas Hiller saved all 23 Red Wings shots in a 4-0 victory Saturday night.

There was some question as to whether Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau should replace Hiller after the Ducks' 5-4 overtime loss in Game 2. Boudreau stood by Hiller and he certainly looks good for doing so. Hiller never had to stop more than nine shots in a single period, but he did everything he needed to tonight and as a result Anaheim has a 2-1 series lead.

Hiller allowed five goals on 32 shots in the Game 2 overtime loss. The series shifts back to Detroit for Game 3 where Hiller will need to play very well because the Red Wings offense looked strong in Game 2.

Goaltender Jonas Hiller will be between the pipes when the Anaheim Ducks visit Detroit to confront the Red Wings for the third game in their best-of-seven, opening-round playoff series.

The series is tied 1-1. Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said Hiller was terrific in Game 1, less so in Game 2. But he had a highlight save on Pavel Datsyuk late in regulation to allow the Ducks to reach overtime. "I thought there was some great saves," Boudreau said. "And some saves he should have had. But I don't think on a couple of them that the play in front of him was very good either. If you start pulling guys after they make one mistake, then they'll be afraid to play the game. So they've gotta be able to play the game without fear of things happening to them."

Jonas Hiller allowed five goals on 32 shots in game two of the Ducks opening round series with the Redwings. The series is now tied at one's.

Hiller wasn't sharp in this one, allowing five goals, and possibly losing his spot as starting goalie in game three if Viktor Fasth is able to start. Remember, Fasth was expected to be the game one starter but got hurt the morning before game one. Hiller is a good goalie, but the 30 year old rookie Fasth was just that much better this season, and a performance like this maybe enough to go with their original choice in net. For those who have Hiller, you may of lost your goalie for the forseeable future if Fasth is healthy enough to start game three in Detroit.
