Ducks Storm Back With Power-Play Firepower, Force Game 5 Against Knights

The Anaheim Ducks just did what nobody expected in the Stanley Cup playoffs: they answered the bell when it mattered most. Beckett Sennecke and Alex Killorn both lit the lamp and set up a goal each as the Ducks punched past the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 on Sunday night at home, evening their series at two games apiece.

The Power Play Was the Difference

This wasn't some lucky bounce or goaltending lottery. The Ducks built their win on special teams, and that's exactly what you want to see in May. Sennecke and Killorn weren't just scoring, they were creating for teammates. Mikael Granlund and Ian Moore also found the back of the net for Anaheim, proving the offense isn't riding on one or two guys carrying the load.

Knights Can't Recover From the Collapse

Vegas came into Sunday night with control of this series. Now they're headed back to Nevada in a dead even fight, and momentum just flipped hard. A 4-3 loss at home in the playoffs stings. The Knights had every chance to go up 3-1, but the Ducks' power play attack was relentless.

Game 5 is coming, and it's win-or-go-home energy for one of these teams. The Ducks proved at home they can execute when the pressure's hottest. Now the question is whether they can take that same intensity on the road.
