The Ducks lose goalie John Gibson midway through the game after he suffers an apparent injury in a collision with Canucks' Drew O'Connor.

Lukas Dostal replaces Gibson after he has a run-in with Canucks winger Drew O’Connor midway through the second period, and Vancouver hands the Ducks a 3-2 defeat.

Jake DeBrusk, Teddy Blueger and Carson Soucy scored second-period goals and the Vancouver Canucks held on for a 3-2 win against the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night.

Dostal allowed a goal on 15 shots in relief of John Gibson (lower body) in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

The Vancouver Canucks need goals as they push to secure a playoff berth. They got two from unlikely sources Wednesday as the Canucks edged the Anaheim Ducks 3-2.

Carson Soucy scored the game winner as the Vancouver Canucks downed the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 on Wednesday. Jake DeBrusk put away his team-leading 22nd tally of the season for the Canucks (28-22-11) on a second-period power play. Teddy Blueger followed with a goal of his own and Filip Hronek contributed a pair of assists.

The Vancouver Canucks scored three times in the second period to complete a 3-2 comeback win against the Anaheim Ducks at Rogers Arena on Wednesday.

Still afloat in the National Hockey League playoff race, and still with a lot of good parts to their team, the Canucks have the power over the final quarter of the regular season to not let this winter’s dysfunction entirely define them.
