Anaheim and Nashville meet in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second time in six seasons.
The last time the Anaheim Ducks and Nashville Predators crossed paths in the 2015-16 regular season, the Ducks were 6-9-4 and tied for 26th in the league with Philadelphia. Meanwhile, the Predators were one of the success stories of the early going, chalking up a 11-3-3 mark through their first 17 games.
My, how things have changed.
The Ducks put together one of the best runs of form in franchise history during the middle of the season to get back into the race, en route to claiming their fourth consecutive Pacific Division title thanks to wins in six of their final nine games despite numerous injuries to key forwards and defenders.
