First Period:
The Ducks have a knack for loving elimination games. Well, maybe when it comes to watching them from the locker room. After a great first shift by the Ducks, Nashville scored a goal on their first shot of the game. Austin Watson threw the puck into the crease from the boards, and it happened to bounce of Montour’s skate and in. The goal came only 1:21 into the period. Just another Anaheim playoff start.
Things did not get much better as the period went on. Seven minuets after the opening goal, Colton Sissons capitalized on a turnover to extend Nashville’s lead to 2-0.
