Ducks Bounce Back, Tie Series 1-1

Anaheim Ducks staged a thrilling comeback, defeating Edmonton 6-4 in Game two, tying their first-round series at one game apiece. Cutter Gauthier led the charge with two goals and an assist, while Alex Killorn contributed a goal and two helpers. Jacob Trouba and Ryan Poehling also scored, with Poehling tallying a pair.

Edmonton fought back, with Leon Draisaitl, Connor Murphy, Zach Hyman, and rookie Josh Samanski scoring. Ducks goalie Lukas Dostal made 33 saves, while Edmontons Connor Ingram stopped 22 shots.

This is Anaheims first playoff run since 2018, and they bounced back after losing Game one. Draisaitl returned from injury, but Connor McDavid remained pointless for a second straight game amid injury concerns.

Edmonton missed key forwards Jason Dickinson and Adam Henrique, while the Ducks sat blueliner Radko Gudas. Despite these absences, Anaheim secured the win with power-play goals, a shorthanded marker, and an empty-netter.

The series shifts to Anaheim for Game three on Friday, with the Ducks aiming to take the lead at home and the Oilers seeking to regain momentum before it slips away.
