The Ducks\u00a0(1-2)\u00a0are hoping to turn things around and even the series against the Golden Knights (2-1)\u00a0in\u00a0Sunday\u2019s tilt at Honda Center.<\/p>\n
Puck drop is set for\u00a06:30\u00a0p.m. PT and will air\u00a0nationally on\u00a0ESPN.<\/p>\n
Anaheim\u00a0fell 6-2 to Vegas on Friday, a\u00a0game the team is\u00a0quickly looking to\u00a0put behind them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn’t a great start,”\u00a0Alex Killorn said. “They score in the first five minutes and then they get a PK goal and then that goal on the power play with five seconds left. It’s tough to win a game when you put yourself in spots like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s a lesson to take out of today’s game, and it’s only going to get harder every single game,”\u00a0head\u00a0coach Joel Quenneville said. “Let’s get ready to go to war.\u201d<\/p>\n
Per Quenneville,\u00a0Drew Helleson\u00a0(undisclosed)\u00a0is out tonight and is day-to-day\u00a0while\u00a0Radko Gudas (lower-body)\u00a0called himself\u00a0a game-time decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for Vegas,\u00a0head coach John Tortorella\u00a0said captain\u00a0Mark Stone, who left\u00a0Game 3, will miss\u00a0tonight\u2019s game. Brandon Saad will replace Stone in the lineup.<\/p>\n
On the flip side, Lukas Dostal will return to the\u00a0net\u00a0and Mason McTavish will return to the lineup for Anaheim.<\/p>\n
McTavish said he\u2019s \u201cready to go\u201d\u00a0and added his group is looking to\u00a0give Dostal more help as their sights\u00a0are\u00a0set on rebounding tonight.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been so good all year,\u201d McTavish said of his goaltender. \u201cObviously,\u00a0we know the kind of goalie he is. We have so much confidence in him. He\u2019s bailed us out so many times and always comes back stronger so I\u2019m\u00a0excited\u00a0to see his game today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moving forward, the Ducks are looking to match Vegas\u2019 energy\u00a0from the get-go\u00a0and that includes being more\u00a0aggressive on the power play.\u00a0Vegas\u2019 penalty kill has been lethal\u00a0this postseason,\u00a0killing\u00a021\u00a0consecutive\u00a0power plays\u00a0in six-straight\u00a0beginning with Game 3 vs Utah in the First Round.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we just\u00a0gotta\u00a0look to shoot more, especially maybe from the top,\u00a0too, get some one-timers and some better screens,\u201d McTavish added. \u201cBut I think\u00a0the biggest thing is getting those second chances. I think we\u2019re doing a really good job of getting in there and getting set up and getting a shot, but just to stay in that\u00a0pressure and tire (Vegas) out, that\u2019s when power plays really\u00a0open up\u00a0and you can score more.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ducks\u00a0(1-2)\u00a0are hoping to turn things around and even the series against the Golden Knights (2-1)\u00a0in\u00a0Sunday\u2019s tilt at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309298,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-309297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
