SUNDAY’S RESULTS
Home Team in Caps
NASHVILLE 3, St. Louis 1 – NSH leads 2-1
Anaheim 6, EDMONTON 3 – EDM leads 2-1
DUCKS SURVIVE OILERS RALLY TO CUT SERIES DEFICIT TO 2-1
The Oilers erased a 3-0 hole, but the Ducks scored three unanswered goals – including the go-ahead marker 48 seconds after Edmonton tied the game – to cut their series deficit to 2-1.
* Elias notes that the Ducks surrendered a three-goal lead and won a playoff game for the second time in franchise history (also Game 5 of 2015 CF vs. CHI: 5-4 OT W). Anaheim became just the fifth team in NHL postseason history to surrender a lead of three or more goals and win by a margin of at least three.
* Jakob Silfverberg (2-1—3) recorded his first career multi-goal game in the postseason (55 GP) and now has scored in three consecutive contests (4-1—5). He ranks second in the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs with six goals (6-2—8), behind only Pittsburgh’s Jake Guentzel (7-3—10).
* Rickard Rakell opened the scoring 25 seconds into the contest, the fastest goal to begin a playoff game in franchise history. The NHL record for the fastest goal to start a postseason game is six seconds, set by Los Angeles’ Don Kozak on April 17, 1977 (vs. BOS).
