They said it<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got a taste of playoff hockey, now we get to experience another round and I think this is healthy for us. We\u2019ve got a young group that\u2019s still — you don\u2019t know how they\u2019re going to play — but you\u2019re certainly excited about what the upside is.\u201d\u00a0– Ducks coach Joel Quenneville<\/p>\n
“Good team speed, fast team. A lot of good young skill, good veteran presence as well.” \u2013 Golden Knights captain Mark Stone on the Ducks<\/p>\n
Will win if …<\/p>\n
Ducks: Their young talent continues to play without fear and are again not intimidated by a team with a lot more playoff experience. Skilled offensively, the Ducks are comfortable playing from behind, which is not always a recipe for playoff success, but it makes them a tough team to put away. Anaheim had three comeback wins against Edmonton. The Ducks scored a number of goals off the rush against the Oilers, utilizing their speed and taking advantage of turnovers in the neutral zone or just inside their blue line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Golden Knights: They can shut down the Anaheim power play, which was lethal against Edmonton, going 8-for-16. The Golden Knights were short-handed 16 times against the Mammoth and only allowed one power-play play goal. If they can stay out of the box or keep the Ducks\u2019 power play off the board when they do take a penalty, it will go a long way toward winning the series. Anaheim and Vegas each scored 17 goals at 5-on-5 in their respective series — tied for most in the playoffs — so this could come down to special teams.<\/p>\n
