1st Period
After a poor start to Game 4, the Ducks were determined to right their tardiness with an inspired first few shifts. Vermette came close to getting the early lead when he appeared to either fan on the puck or was stick checked before an easy tap in by the side of the net. McDavid had a golden opportunity also when Theodore was too casual with a clear in the slot. Lindholm rang the post on the next shift before Thompson pasted Oilers 3rd pair defenceman Matt Benning which led to a stoppage. Getzlaf finished a check on another Oilers blueliner in Sekera and it seemed the Ducks were upping the physical play or just out to murder defenders.
