When Anaheim lost star left wing Paul Kariya Paul Tetsuhiko Kariya (born October 16, 1974 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada), is a professional ice hockey player who plays for the St. Louis Blues. Personal life with a broken foot injury 18 days ago, they essentially lost their life boat. Kariya wasn't exactly carrying the team on any sort of personal raft, but he was keeping them more or less afloat in the Western Conference playoff chase. There may be holes and leaks, but the Ducks haven't abandoned ship just yet. The Ducks, shut out and shutdown for 53 minutes on Wednesday night, rallied from two goals down to force a 2-2 tie with the worst team in the 30-team NHL NHL Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, see there , the Florida Panthers For the animal species by this name, see . The Florida Panthers are a professional ice hockey team based in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida suburb of Sunrise. They are members of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). . An announced crowd of 11,396 at the Pond watched the Ducks (13-19-6-4) winless skid reach seven games (0-4-1-2) and the team has been outscored 21-12 with Kariya out of the lineup.

(due to injury), the game and its outcome certainly did more positives than negatives for a team that has scored two or less goals in 28 out of 42 games overall. The Ducks tied the game on goals by Teemu Selanne (with 6:56 left in regulation) and German Titov with 5:49 left. The Ducks, held to just 11 shots through two periods, rung up 16 shots in the first minutes of the third period. Anaheim began to show signs of life early in the third period. Anaheim had a 5-on-3 advantage for the full two minutes when Florida's Peter Worrell and Greg Adams (went of for roughing and tripping respectively). Worrell, the Panthers' on-ice enforcer, went after Anaheim's Jim Cummins (also a physical presence) after Cummins put a knee-on-knee hit on Florida's high-scoring star Pavel Bure. Cummins, who has had a knack for taking foolish penalties this season, resisted retaliation with Worrell, thus setting up the power-play. However, three shots and 72 seconds into the two-man advantage, Marty McInnis of the Ducks went off for tripping and the Panthers survived the threat.
