The hope is that the swelling in the knee will go down enough by Tuesday to get look at the ACL and determine if it is torn, sprained or uninjured. Bure was injured in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Bure, who leads the team with 14 goals through 27 games, left the game after a knee-to-knee collision with Buffalo's Curtis Brown midway through the second period and did not return.

"They outworked us from the beginning to the end," Anaheim coach Mike Babcock said. "They deserve the credit for the win." It was the second time in the last six games that the Ducks were shut out after losing 4-0 to the Dallas Stars back on November 22. "It was obvious that we were flat mentally and physically," Babcock added. Thanks |
