LONDON (Ticker) - The Anaheim Ducks' defense of their StanleyCup title got off to a shaky start.


The Ducks will look to bounce back when they meet the LosAngeles Kings at the O2 Arena in London in the conclusion of theNHL's first regular-season venture to Europe.


Rookie Jonathan Bernier made 26 saves and Michael Cammalleriscored a pair of goals as the Kings opened the 90th NHL seasonwith a 4-1 triumph over the Ducks on Saturday.


The 11th overall selection in the 2006 draft, Bernier impressedKings coach Marc Crawford enough during training camp to earnthe start in the team's season opener. The 19-year-old Quebecnative did not disappoint in his first NHL appearance, stoppingthe first 25 shots he faced before Bobby Ryan spoiled theshutout bid with just under seven minutes to go in the thirdperiod.


Despite Bernier's successful debut, Jason LaBarbera will likelybe in the crease for the Ducks on Sunday.


Much like in the final two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffslast season, Anaheim had discipline problems, collecting eightpenalties over the first 41 minutes of the game. Los Angelestook full advantage, scoring three power-play goals to takecontrol.


Rob Blake, who was named the team captain, and thenewly-acquired Michal Handzus also added goals for the Kings,who are looking for their fifth straight win over their PacificDivision foes.


The Ducks were without many of their stars in Saturday'scontest. Both Scott Niedermayer and Teemu Selanne are notplaying while they contemplate possibly retiring and goaltenderJean-Sebastien Giguere, center Sami Pahlsson and defensemanMathieu Schneider all sat out with injuries.


Giguere, who had surgery to repair his injured sports hernia,could return as early as next week. His replacement, IlyaBryzgalov, made 17 saves Saturday.
