ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. He had a pair of goals, and Jonas Hiller made 34 saves for his 17th NHL shutout in Anaheims 6-0 rout of the New York Rangers on Thursday night in the home opener of the Ducks 20th season. Silfverberg was acquired from Ottawa when the Ducks traded veteran Bobby Ryan in July. The 22-year-old right wing is holding his own on a line with 43-year-old Teemu Selanne and Mathieu Perreault. They assisted on both goals by Silfverberg, who had the second two-goal game of his young career. "Ive been fortunate to play with two great players," Silfverberg said. "Theyre so good at one-on-one battles and at finding me. Ive been lucky so far and its a matter of keep shooting the puck." Dustin Penner and Daniel Winnik each added a goal and an assist. The goals were the most scored by Anaheim and its largest margin of victory, both in a home opener. "We want to build up a lot of confidence at the start of the season," Silfverberg said. "We cant get satisfied. We got to keep pushing harder." New York has been outscored 20-6 to start their first season under new coach Alain Vigneault. The Rangers lost 9-2 at San Jose on Tuesday. "If we play this way, were going to be in deep trouble," defenceman Dan Girardi said. "Weve just got to figure out what the heck is going on and start being a hard team to play against, and get back to what we were successful at the last couple of years." The Ducks outshot the Rangers 37-34 for their third win in a row in the teams first meeting in nearly two years. Playing without injured All-Star forward Rick Nash, the Rangers fell to 1-3 on their nine-game trip, the longest to open a season in franchise history. Nash got hit in the face by San Joses Brad Stuart on Tuesday. Stuart received a three-game suspension for an illegal check to the head. New Yorks Henrik Lundqvist, a finalist for the Vezina Trophy last season, stopped 31 shots in losing for the third time in four games. "Its going to be hard for Henrik to stop everything if we keep turning the puck over like that," centre Derick Brassard said. "We just need to support the puck better and make the simple tape-to-tape pass. Were not executing right now and its really hurt us. We pretty much had the same game in San Jose, but I dont think its because of lack of effort." The Ducks built a 3-0 lead on goals by Ryan Getzlaf, Silfverberg and Winnik in the first period, when Anaheim outshot the Rangers 17-3. "I had a good seat for an exciting game," Hiller joked about having little to do in the first. Silfverbergs initial goal came on a tip-in. "Its really nice to see him fit right in that line," Hiller said. "Its great to see him scoring." The Rangers were the NHLs least penalized team last season, but they racked up 26 minutes worth in the first. Derek Dorsett accounted for 19 minutes, including a 10-minute misconduct after instigating a fight with Anaheims Bryan Allen. Silfverberg struck again 1:27 into the second, scoring on a long rebound that caught Lundqvist out of the net. The play began when Benoit Pouliot gave away the puck in New Yorks zone. "Theres just no pride going on right now in our defensive zone," Rangers captain Ryan Callahan said. Saku Koivu made it 5-0 on a wrist shot, and Penner beat Lundqvist glove side to score his first goal of the season, giving the Ducks three more goals in the period. "The first two periods were as good as we can play," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. The Rangers cut their penalties to one in the second, when they kept Hiller busier by outshooting the Ducks 14-13 but still had nothing to show for it. "Its kind of tough when youre up 6-0 to keep pushing," Hiller said. "It was nice to get a couple stops there." In the third, New York had 17 shots to Anaheims seven. NOTES: Penner and Nick Bonino left the game with lower body injuries, and Perreault sustained an upper body injury. ... It was the first time New York allowed at least six goals in consecutive games since Oct. 12 and 14, 2006. ... The Rangers were the opponent for the other teams home opener for the third time in four games. ... The teams last played on Nov. 3, 2011, in New York. ... Selanne, who at 43 is the NHLs oldest player, got a standing ovation during pregame introductions.

Result notwithstanding, Sundays game had a very different feel to it.Eugenie Bouchard will make her tournament debut in Montreal tonight when she takes on qualifier Shelby Rogers at the Rogers Cup. Bouchard, a native of nearby Westmount, QC, will be playing her first match since losing her first career Grand Slam final last month. Despite being defeated in straight sets by Petra Kvitova in the Wimbledon final, the 20-year-old is looking forward to taking what she learned from loss into a new tournament. "I was disappointed to lose in the final," Bouchard said Sunday. "I expect a lot from myself and I felt I could have done better, but it was a huge learning experience in the end. After a couple of days I was able to reflect. I felt I played a good two weeks and I was proud of that, for sure, but coming so close to achieving a dream just motivated me more. Im really excited to finish the year strong. Well see what happens." Bouchard, the tournaments fifth seed and ranked eighth in the world, had a bye to the tournaments second round. Rogers won two qualifying matches to enter the tournaments main draw before defeating Ajla Tomljanovic 6-4, 7-6 on Monday.dddddddddddd The Wimbledon finalist has been the most consistent player in womens tennis this year, and is only the only woman to have reached the semifinal round at each of the years first three major tournaments. She entered the year ranked 32nd in the world and rose to seventh after Wimbledon before falling back one spot from taking a month off. Bouchard will now set her sights on reclaiming her seventh spot, and moving further up the rankings. "After making the top 20, in the back of my head, Im saying lets get to top 10, " Bouchard said. "Now, the next step is top 5. "Its about slowly building. I dont want to worry too much about specific ranking goals, but its motivating to see your number improve. I just want to be a better tennis player by the end of the year. Im working hard and I think I can achieve that." Bouchard will have a tough road to winning the Montreal tournament. She is in the same quarter of the draw as top-ranked Serena Williams and the same half of the draw as Maria Sharapova, who defeated her in the French Open semifinal. ' ' '
