Game 2: Ducks At Golden Knights

Anaheim (0-1) At Vegas (1-0)

Time: 6:30 PM

Anaheim Outlook

The Ducks lost the first game by a 3-1 final. Anaheim was down 1-0 in the third when they tied the game up, but then moments later a none icing call resulted in Vegas taking the lead 2-1. An empty net goal was added later to give Vegas the two goal victory. Anaheim played well controlling the pace and outshooting Vegas, but Carter Hart played outstanding. The Ducks do need to figure out the power play as they went 0-for-4 in Game 1.
