The Anaheim Ducks lost 3-2 to the San Jose Sharks Saturday at Honda Center and fell behind 2-0 in the first round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs. Now the series goes up north where with the Orange County team two games from elimination.

Hampus Lindholm and Jakob Silfverberg scored for the Ducks, but after falling behind by one goal, they were unable to find the equalizer in the scoreless third period.

“We can’t let them score three goals on us,” Lindholm said. “We’re not going to win like that. We played much better tonight. We’re going to take the positives from this game, but we need to clean up the zone.”

John Gibson kept the Ducks close with 32 saves in goal.

The third game will be on Monday in San Jose, and the fourth on Wednesday, both at SAP Center.
