Ducks 3, Oilers 0: Viktor Fasth made 24 saves en route to his fourth shutout as visiting Anaheim clinched its first Pacific Division title since its 2006-07 championship season by continuing its dominance of Edmonton.
Captain Ryan Getzlaf, Radek Dvorak and rookie defenseman Sami Vatanen scored for the Ducks, who swept their season series with the Oilers for the second time in four campaigns. Anaheim has won 14 of its last 16 meetings with Edmonton.
Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 25 shots in his third start in April for the Oilers, who were eliminated from playoff contention after a 3-1 home loss to the Ducks on Sunday. Edmonton, which has one win in nine games, has been held to two goals or fewer in each of its last 10 games against Anaheim.
Getzlaf opened the scoring during a power play 6:13 into the contest, collecting his own rebound in the slot and firing it past Khabibulin. Dvorak doubled the advantage at 11:48 of the first period, sliding the puck into an open net from the doorstep.
Vatanen added his second career tally after fanning on a point shot 3:55 into the third. Vatanen’s initial miss caused Jordan Eberle to slide out of position on the block attempt and left the blue-liner all alone to send a slap shot through traffic and past Khabibulin.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Dvorak has scored three of his four goals against Edmonton. ... Getzlaf has 29 points in 25 career games against the Oilers. ... Edmonton has lost five straight at home. The Oilers have not won at Rexall Place since April 1.
