Phoenix 5, Ducks 4, SO.
Bring on the playoffs! (Read: No more shootouts, please).
The Ducks' second straight shootout didn't have quite the happy ending as Friday night's. Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped an attempt by Phoenix's Viktor Tikhonov -- with his toe just behind the goal line, giving the Coyotes the win.

J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
