In their first Stanley Cup playoff action, they trailed 2-0 after the first period, then exploded for 3 goals in the second to grab the lead, proving they belonged on the stage. 13 Ducks made their postseason debut, including Goli, Lucas Dostow, with 30 saves, Troy Terry netting 2 goals and an assist, and Leo. Carlson adding a goal and assist, facing Edmonton's battle-tested crew from recent finals runs, Anaheim held their own once they settled in. Ducks forward Alex Killorn called out their slow start, but praised the comeback resilience, saying that second period was fire. Coach Joel Quinnaville was pleased with the young gun's response in the hostile building, noting it sets a solid foundation despite the late. 3rd period collapsed. Anaheim tied for the NHL's most comeback wins this season with 26, so rallying back fell natural, though blowing a 3rd period lead stung as, a rare regulation loss.
