LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Cory Schneider and the Vancouver Canucks handed the defending Stanley Cup champions their second straight shutout loss.

Schneider made 20 saves en route to his sixth NHL shutout, Mason Raymond scored in the first period, and the Canucks beat the Los Angeles Kings 1-0 on Saturday for their third straight victory.

“It was a close game, and not a lot of offense exchanged both ways, but we’ll take it any way we can get it,” Raymond said. “We didn’t have a lot of shots, but I thought we played well defensively for the most part.”

The Kings, coming off a 2-0 home loss to Dallas on Thursday in which they had 40 shots, were blanked for the third time this season. It is the first time they have been shut out in consecutive games since Feb. 16-18, 2012, when they sustained a pair of 1-0 home losses.

“That’s a team that plays with a lot of confidence,” Schneider said.
