That was a fun game to watch. Giguere and the Ducks stand strong and win their fourth straight game. The Ducks are 6 -1 -1 in the month of November. I am beginning to think that the Ducks have finally found some chemistry. Either way here is the game coverage

Anaheim Ducks Game Report
Corey Perry scored the only goal in the shootout and Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 31 saves to lead the Ducks to their fourth straight win, 2-1 over San Jose on Saturday night.
Perry shot second for the Ducks in the tiebreaker, skating out wide to his right before swooping in front of the crease and lifting a backhand shot over a sprawling Evgeni Nabokov.
Giguere then stopped Joe Pavelski at the other end to clinch the win. Giguere had earlier stopped Devin Setoguchi and Patrick Marleau in the shootout to extend the defending Stanley Cup champions' longest winning streak of the season. The current run started with a shootout win over the Sharks on Nov. 9.
San Jose had won four straight since that loss in Anaheim in the first meeting of the season between the Pacific Division rivals.

The first time the Ducks and Sharks met this season they ended up in a shootout. Tonight was no different, with the Ducks prevailing for the second time in a row for a 2-1 win. Going into the game, the Ducks had their first three game winning streak of the season that began with the first shootout win against San Jose. The Sharks also had a three game winning streak having defeated the Coyotes three times in a row. This was before the Coyotes had obtained former Ducks goalie Ilya Bryzgalov off of waivers, who shut out the Kings 1-0 earlier today in his debut with Phoenix.

Once again, the Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks were locked in a tightly played game that had almost the intensity of the playoffs.
Just like the last meeting eight days earlier, the defending Stanley Cup champion Ducks were better by the slimmest of margins.
Corey Perry scored the only goal in the shootout and Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 28 saves to lead Anaheim to its second straight shootout win over the Sharks, 2-1 on Saturday night.
''It was a great battle tonight,'' Sharks coach Ron Wilson said. ''It's two really good teams fighting for every inch of space on the ice. These two games have easily been the most intense games so far this year.''

Anaheim Duck Fan game report
The Ducks were in San Jose to face the Sharks in the second game for the two clubs in 8 days. The Ducks won the first game 3-2 in the shootout, and they won this game 2-1 in the shootout. The Ducks have a 4 game winning streak, however 3 of those 4 wins are in the shootout.
The game was just like I would have expected, hard hitting and quick. The Ducks hit everything in sight, and the Sharks were just as tough.Read the rest here - Link
