Joshua scores twice as Canucks claw out 3-2 win over slumping Ducks

VANCOUVER — Dakota Joshua scored twice and his Vancouver Canucks held on for a 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.

Garland set up the game-winning strike with two minutes and 13 seconds left on the clock, sending a blind backhanded pass to Joshua from the end boards. The big winger fired it in past Dostal for his second goal of the afternoon to put Vancouver up 3-2. Seventy-one seconds later, Gustav Lindstrom tried to wrap a shot around the Vancouver net and an unmarked McTavish was there to pick up the puck. The Ducks centre slammed a wrist shot in behind Silovs to knot the score at 2-2.

With Jakob Silfverberg in the box for tripping, Pius Suter sent a hard pass to Joshua down low. The big winger pulled the puck back up to the top of the crease with his backhand and got a shot off from between his legs, sending it up and over Dostal stick side.
