File this under things we already knew, but apparently Scott Niedermayer was pretty important to the Anaheim Ducks. In three games this season the Ducks have been outscored 13-2, which includes Monday's 5-1 beatdown at the hands of the St. Louis Blues. Jonas Hiller was subjected to 53 shots on goal (compared to the 14 that Anaheim was able to register at the other end of the ice) while they've been out-shot by a 145-72 margin over the first five days of the season. They've yet to allow fewer than 40 shots in a game, which is really quite stunning.

On Monday, they allowed David Backes and Andy McDonald to score a pair of goals just six seconds apart, while also surrendering goals to B.J. Crombeen and Matt D'agostini (two).

Adding to the madness was the fact the two teams combined for 143 penalty minutes, thanks in large part to this mini line brawl with three minutes to play in the second period.
