"The Ducks were a shadow of the team that eliminated Edmonton. After averaging a playoff-high 4.33 goals a game, the Ducks were stymied by Vegas goalie Carter Hart, who turned away 33 shots."
"Although the Ducks played their best defensive game of the postseason, giving up just 21 shots, the balanced Knights gave them few good scoring opportunities, especially on the power play."
The Ducks faced the Golden Knights in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs, losing 3-1. Brett Howden and Ivan Barbashev scored for Vegas, while Mikael Granlund netted a goal for the Ducks. Despite averaging 4.33 goals per game in the first round, the Ducks were unable to score on four power-play opportunities. Vegas goalie Carter Hart made 33 saves, limiting the Ducks' scoring chances. The Ducks need to leverage their speed against the Knights' experience as they prepare for Game 2 in Las Vegas.
