DUCKS FYI: Jonas Hiller named to Swiss Olympic team A hot goalie can take a team far, something Switzerland's Olympic hockey leaders recognized Monday in selecting Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller to their team for the Sochi Winter Games next month. On the eve of the more anticipated announcement of the defending champion Canadian Olympic team - expected to include Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf and forward Corey Perry - Hiller gained a return Olympic trip in the midst of an 11-0 streak in net for the Ducks. Injured defenseman teammate Luca Sbisa was put on Switzerland's "sidelist," meaning he could land a spot should one open. "I'm not too surprised, but ... I actually watched it live this morning over the Internet, even though they called me yesterday and I kind of knew," Hiller said of his selection. Still exciting, and seeing who else was on the team ... it's a great honor. Hiller's winning streak is the NHL's longest since 2012. He said the success has bred confidence he expects to utilize in Russia. The Swiss team claimed a silver medal at last year's world championships, and was a 2010 Olympic quarterfinalist in Vancouver. "That gave us belief to play well and play with the big names," Hiller said. We have to find a way to get that team together as quickly as possible. We're at the level we can compete. Ignition switch After his team mostly slumbered through a two-goal deficit in the first period Sunday, Ducks forward Kyle Palmieri picked a fight with Vancouver defenseman Brad Richardson. "I want to give the team energy as much as I can," Palmieri said. You get an opportunity to get your teammates a little excited, get the crowd into it ... it was kind of a boring game. That's how they want to play, what they were trying to do. I saw an opportunity. It worked out. Almost everything is working out for Palmieri. "I've become a little more complete in the defensive zone," he said. The offense is starting to come. Tough test The Ducks, unbeaten in regulation in 19 home games, play host to the Atlantic Division-leading Boston Bruins (28-12-2) and leading goal scorers Reilly Smith and Jarome Iginla on Tuesday night. "I know Boston," Boudreau said of a team he faced routinely when coaching the Washington Capitals. Their line of [David] Krejci-[Milan] Lucic-Iginla is really good. You can't outmatch them on defense, because they play [Zdeno] Chara 30 minutes a game [actually 24:57], so he's going to hit you somewhere. And Patrice Bergeron's line checks as well as anyone's. On the air: TV: Prime Ticket; Radio: 830. Etc.: Krejci has 27 assists for Boston, which ranks second in the NHL in goals-against average and sixth in goals per game.
