The Vancouver Canucks can't buy a goal.
For the third straight game, the Canucks were unable to find the scoresheet, as the team fell 3-0 to the Anaheim Ducks.
Ducks goaltender John Gibson turned aside 32 shots for his third shutout of the season.
The goalless drought extended the Canucks' scoring slump following shutout losses to the Los Angeles Kings and Arizona Coyotes.
Vancouver's last goal came Friday, when Jussi Jokinen tallied against the Minnesota Wild. Given that goal came with 12:09 remaining in the second period, the Canucks have now gone more than 212 minutes since finding the back of the net.
Adding insult to injury, Wednesday's loss officially eliminated the Canucks from postseason contention.
