What the numbers say

  • Faceoffs: Edmonton 58.3% — a quiet but real territorial edge.
  • Special teams: Both clubs 1-for on the PP; Edmonton’s goal came at a critical moment.
  • Giveaways: Edmonton 19 to Anaheim’s 11 — the Ducks’ pressure is forcing mistakes.
  • Hits: Anaheim 18–17 — physical but not chaotic.

Momentum profile

Anaheim owns the third period: three goals, heavier shot volume, and more clean exits. Edmonton’s top-end skill is still generating, but the Ducks’ young core — Carlsson, Zellweger, Sennecke — is dictating tempo.

Stakes for the final stretch

  • Edmonton needs a stabilizing shift from the McDavid line or the Ekholm/Bouchard pair.
  • Anaheim is playing freer, faster, and with nothing to lose — the next mistake decides it.
