That looks like a couple of players not knowing what to do. Anaheim's loaded up the strong side there, so when the puck carrier (#7) makes the pass, either Iginla or Guerin should rotate onto Fowler.
But Iginla's assignment is to watch the point, and there are two Ducks sitting up on the part of the blueline that he's responsible for covering.
I imagine that the Av's defensive coverage scheme normally calls for him to rotate onto Fowler, letting Guerin stay in front of the net, but all 5 Ducks are on the strong side of the ice, there is no weak-side player for Guerin to prevent a pass to.
Seriously blown D right there.
