Boudreau's player selection switches yield dividends, most complete Anaheim effort in weeks to make it a series.
Sometimes it's necessary to think outside the box when backed into a corner.
Such was the case for head coach Bruce Boudreau and the Anaheim Ducks, as facing the prospect of an 0-3 hole against the Nashville Predators that only four teams had dug out of in 181 previous situations would be some long odds.
Instead, the Ducks earned a 3-0 victory at Bridgestone Arena by upping their forechecking pressure, scoring timely goals, getting solid goaltending, and (despite the final penalty numbers) improving their discipline by better controlling their emotion.
