" It is just two games since Jonas Hiller was made a rich man over the weekend, but you get the feeling the Ducks are feeling good about their $18 million investment.

Hiller has been their go-to goalie for the past two months and he continued to reward the Ducks' faith in him as he made a season-high 46 saves in a 3-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday for their ninth consecutive victory at Honda Center.

Ryan Whitney, Kyle Chipchura and Bobby Ryan each scored to support Hiller with a three-goal lead and the club's new undisputed No. 1 goalie carried his teammates with another standout performance.

In his last three starts, the Swiss netminder has been virtually unbeatable as he's allowed just two goals in 111 shots for a .982 save percentage. And with Jean-Sebastien Giguere being dealt on Sunday, it is now the 27-year-old's show.

"I'm sure it's a nice thing that he probably feels this is his team and he's going to get the opportunity to really be the guy," Ducks captain Scott Niedermayer said. "He's deserved it. He's worked hard at it. So far, he's done great."

Of his many stops, none Hiller robbed Pavel Datsyuk with a fantastic glove save in the second and stopped Valtteri Filppula with a skate save on his doorstep in the third before he turned aside a flurry of shots in the last few minutes."
