ANAHEIM Zemgus Girgensons Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Marc-Andre Fleury has played more games than any other NHL goaltender this season. It hardly appears to be taking a toll.The 34-year-old Fleury stopped 34 shots for his league-leading seventh shutout and the Vegas Golden Knights swept the season series from the Anaheim Ducks with a 3-0 victory Friday night.“My teammates helped me out blocking shots and taking rebounds away. It was a good team win,” said Fleury, who has played 55 games and also leads the league with 31 wins.It was Fleury’s 11th shutout for Vegas and the 55th of his career. Two have come against Anaheim, and 13 in March.“We played good all night and Fleury was excellent,” Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said. “They didn’t have a whole lot of good chances but when they did he made some great saves.”Fleury said he doesn’t feel tired despite playing in all but 11 games this season, but his workload over the final five weeks of the regular season might be watched more to make sure he is primed for the playoffs.“I’m fine. Our schedule is less busy right now,” he said. “We’ll go with the flow and try to stay healthy.”William Karlsson, Alex Tuch and Cody Eakin scored for Vegas Los Angeles Kings Hoodies Womens , which won its third straight. The Golden Knights are on their longest streak since winning seven consecutive games in late December and early January but remain nine points behind San Jose for second place in the Pacific Division.“The win is awesome but the amount of times he shuts a team out is phenomenal. It gives us energy,” Tuch said about Fleury. “He’s probably the biggest part of our team’s success right now.”John Gibson made 31 saves for Anaheim in his first start since Feb. 7. Gibson had missed the last nine games due to a concussion and having his wisdom teeth removed.The Ducks have lost five in a row and are 3-10 since the All-Star break.“We’re out-chancing a lot of teams, so the stats say. We’re just not scoring, and other teams are scoring timely goals against us,” Ducks forward Nick Ritchie said.Karlsson scored his 19th at 14:49 of the first period when he took a cross-ice pass from Mark Stone and caught Gibson out of position. It was Stone’s first point with the Golden Knights since he was acquired from Ottawa on Monday.The Golden Knights had scored just twice in 28 power-play opportunities on the road coming into the game.Tuch got his first goal in 15 games and 17th this season at 18:13 of the second when he put a backhand between Gibson’s legs. Jonathan Marchessault was able to grab an errant puck off the boards and fired a stretch pass to Tuch as the Ducks were in the middle of a line change.“It’s been a little bit and I almost forgot the feeling,” Tuch said. “We’ve been playing real good hockey so far. We’ve got to clean up little bits and pieces and make sure we don’t let teams back in the game.”Eakin added an empty-net goal at 19:40 of the third for his 16th this season.NOTES: Anaheim RW Corey Perry tied team captain Ryan Getzlaf for most games played in franchise history at 971. Getzlaf has missed the past five games due to an upper-body injury. … The Ducks were 0 for 2 on the power play and have not converted in eight chances over the past five games.UP NEXTGolden Knights: Host the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.Ducks: Host the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday. The Buffalo Sabres won more than a game Saturday night.They won their fans back, for now.When they lost their season opener 4-0 at home to the Boston Bruins Thursday, the Sabres were booed.Article continues below ...The Sabres heard cheers Saturday when they defeated the New York Rangers 3-1 at KeyBank Center as Conor Sheary scored twice and Carter Hutton made 43 saves.The Sabres (1-1-0) will face a more difficult opponent Monday afternoon when they face the Vegas Gold Knights (1-1-0) http://www.flamesshoponline.com/authentic-jaromir-jagr-jersey , the Stanley Cup finalists last season who came back Saturday to defeat the Minnesota Wild 2-1 in a shootout.Hutton said he is looking forward to the challenge presented by the Golden Knights, who added former Montreal Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty and former St. Louis Blues center Paul Stastny during the offseason.“They transition really fast, turn pucks over on you and come at you,” said Hutton, who played for the Blues the past two seasons. “Stastny is like a Swiss army knife. He can do it all. He’s a great pro, good friend of mine. It will be fun to play against him, funny to see him in a Vegas jersey.”Hutton, who signed with the Sabres as a free agent Johnny Gaudreau Jersey Kids , has a goals-against average of 2.09 in his first two games, the same as he had in 32 games last season for St. Louis.“It’s really something else what he did (Saturday) night,” Sabres defenseman Casey Nelson said at practice on Sunday. “He won us a game for sure. That’s what we needed. It was awesome to see him have a big game for us.”Hutton earned a standing ovation when he stopped a three-on-none break by the Rangers in the second period on Saturday.“It gives your team a boost of energy and confidence knowing you have a guy who can make a save when you really need it,” Sabres coach Phil Housley said. “He’s a very good veteran. Says the right things in the room and is a very likable guy but at the time he says what’s on his chest. It doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran or rookie, he’s going to leave it out there. I think that guys respect that.”The Sabres had lost six straight home games dating to last season before Saturday.The Golden Knights also had an uplifting victory on Saturday at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.Pacioretty tied the game with 1:31 remaining in the third period with goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury removed for an extra attacker.

The guys stuck with it. They played hard, and they played our game.”“We really liked our game,” said Pacioretty, who was acquired in a trade with Montreal last month. “We liked our close support, we liked how we were fast on pucks. We were creating turnovers and getting chances, hit some posts, missed some open chances. We knew eventually it would come. That’s just the way it works.”The Golden Knights had lost their season opener 5-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers at home and Fleury lasted just 30:11 Womens Mark Giordano Jersey , allowing five goals on 16 shots, but his defense deserted him.Vegas made up for that Saturday, holding a 42-30 advantage in shots on goal.Center Johan Larsson (lower-body injury) practiced Sunday with the Sabres but Housley said it has not been determined if he will play Monday. He was injured Sept. 26.
