What happened

It’s been nine years since the Anaheim Ducks won a playoff series, but the team is still just one win away from advancing into round two of this year’s NHL Playoffs.

Why it matters

After winning three straight against the Edmonton Oilers in games two, three and four, the reigning Western Conference champions came back to win Game 5, 4-1.

Common ground

Edmonton took a 3-0 lead early in that matchup with first period goals from Vasily Podkolzin, Zach Hyman, and Leon Draisaitl, the latter of whom tied Wayne Gretzky for the most postseason power-play goals in franchise history with 23.
