AP, VANCOUVERRandy Carlyle did not know much about Ondrej Kase when the Anaheim Ducks promoted the rookie forward from the minors. Kase scored his first NHL goal and John Gibson made 27 saves as the Ducks beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Thursday. The 21-year-old Kase was a seventh-round selection back in 2014, but the Czech forward has found his way into the Ducks’ roster after starting the season with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL. “Our guys are doing a great job surrounding our net and not giving a whole lot up.”Henrik Sedin had Vancouver’s only goal, while Ryan Miller stopped 21 shots. The Canucks continued to press in the final moments, but Cogliano beat Miller for his sixth with 2:35 left as Anaheim closed out a successful opener to a three-game road trip.
