Anaheim Outlook

The Ducks got down 2-0 after the first period in Game 1. They turned the tables in the second period and had a 3-2 to start the final frame. The Oilers were able to tie up the game and then score the game winner in the final minutes of regulation. Anaheim needs to work on having a better first period. They also need to limit the odd man rushes by the Oilers if they want to win and tie up this series tonight.
