Bachman makes 43 saves to help Canucks beat Ducks 2-1
ANAHEIM, Calif. — An unlikely performance from journeyman goalie Richard Bachman has the Vancouver Canucks thinking about a playoff push that seemed farfetched just a few days ago.
Bachman made 43 saves, Bo Horvat and Markus Granlund each scored and the Canucks beat the Anaheim Ducks 2-1 on Sunday.
The 29-year-old Bachman got his first win since Oct. 30, 2015, in his first appearance this season for the Canucks.
“It feels really good,” said Bachman, who is unbeaten in two career starts for Vancouver. “Anytime you get to play in this league, it’s an awesome experience and opportunity. To win, it’s even more special.”
