The Anaheim Ducks leveled the Western Conference Second Round series at two games apiece following a victory over the Vegas Golden Knights at Honda Center on Sunday, May 10, 2026. The win shifted the momentum of the series as the teams prepare to return to Las Vegas for Game 5.
Anaheim’s offensive production was fueled by strategic adjustments and a clinical power play performance. Beckett Sennecke opened the scoring for the Ducks in the first period with a power-play goal, providing an early advantage in the high-stakes matchup.
Vegas responded in the second period when Brett Howden utilized a wrist shot to tie the contest. However, the Ducks regained the lead before the second intermission as Mikael Granlund capitalized on a setup from Jeffrey Viel.
The Ducks extended their lead in the final frame when rookie Trevor Moore recorded his first career playoff goal. The scoring surge provided a necessary cushion to secure the win and negate the previous defensive dominance displayed by Vegas goaltender Carter Hart.
Head coach Joel Quenneville implemented several personnel changes ahead of the puck drop, which were credited with revitalizing the Anaheim lineup. The Ducks’ special teams proved decisive, successfully navigating man-advantage opportunities to pressure the Vegas defense.
Vegas competed without captain Mark Stone, who remained sidelined due to a lower-body injury. His absence forced shifts in the Golden Knights’ forward rotation as the team struggled to maintain the series lead established earlier in the week.
The series is now tied 2-2, with Game 5 scheduled to take place at T-Mobile Arena. Both teams are vying for a spot in the Western Conference Finals as the postseason continues.
