PLAYERS: Curtis Sanford,  Grant Clitsome,  Scott Arniel,  Steve Mason,  Jonathan Quick
TEAMS: Columbus Blue Jackets,  Vancouver Canucks,  Los Angeles Kings
07
Curtis Sanford made 31 saves for his sixth career shutout, defenseman Grant Clitsome ended a 22-game goal drought, and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Los Angeles Kings 1-0 Saturday. Sanford started back-to-back games for the first time since a 12-game stretch from Nov. 17 through Dec. 10 when coach Scott Arniel benched Steve Mason. The shutout was Sanford's first since Dec. 28, 2008 against Ottawa while playing for the Vancouver Canucks. The Kings' Jonathan Quick stopped 17 shots, two nights after beating Phoenix 1-0. Los Angeles, which has scored a league-low 90 goals, was held to fewer than three in regulation for the 19th time in 21 games and shut out for the fifth time this season.
