Cycle: Three factors led to the Ducks possessing the puck in the offensive zone as much as they did in this game. 1) They were first to most pucks after entry, whether pucks were chipped or shot toward the Winnipeg net, the speed and tenacity of Anaheim’s forwards won them most of the ensuing puck battles. 2) When possession was established, and forwards were moving with speed with pucks on their sticks, all six defensemen were remarkably active, hopping into soft ice from the strong or weak sides alike.
