NHL Stanley Cup Chase
4-3 Ducks OT FINAL
Ducks lead series 3-1 
Game Notes
Game 4 arrives with the Oilers staring straight at the kind of gut‑check night that decides whether a series bends or breaks. They weren’t just beaten in Game 3—they were exposed. Anaheim carved them up in transition, forced their depth into bad reads, and turned Dostal’s steadiness into a platform for chaos. Edmonton still has the talent edge, still has McDavid moving like a man who can tilt a rink by himself, but none of that matters if they can’t tighten the layers behind him. Tonight is about posture: cleaner exits, fewer gifts, and a commitment to making the Ducks work for every inch instead of skate downhill for free.
Anaheim, meanwhile, plays with house money and swagger. Gauthier has been a problem every night, Dostal keeps giving them belief, and their young legs have turned this matchup into a track meet the Oilers didn’t plan for. Even if their captain remains a question mark, the Ducks have found a rhythm—fast, opportunistic, and unbothered by reputation. Game 4 becomes a referendum on whether Edmonton can reassert structure or whether Anaheim’s surge is real enough to push the series to the brink. One team is fighting to steady the wheel; the other is trying to rip it out of their hands.
