Carlyle pokes fun at Wild's penalty-free game vs. Ducks

You can't blame the Anaheim Ducks for failing to score on the man advantage Tuesday night.

That's because the Orange County club saw zero power plays versus the Minnesota Wild, as the West's top team skated 60 minutes without a whistle against.

"I guess that they didn't do one thing wrong out there on the ice," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle joked to Michael Russo of the Star Tribune. "They had the enjoyment and luxury of five straight power plays."

It was a quiet contest between the two sides, as the Ducks captured a 1-0 victory on a goal from Joseph Cramarossa.

While the Wild went penalty-free, the Ducks took five minors in the game, including two in each of the first two periods. Anaheim wrapped up the night with 20 total minutes in penalties after forward Antoine Vermette was given a game misconduct.
