The Anaheim Ducks and Vegas Golden Knights meet Wednesday night in Game 2 of their Western Conference second-round playoff series, with Vegas looking to take a commanding 2-0 lead before the series shifts to Anaheim.

Anaheim, one of the weakest goal-prevention teams in the regular season, produced a rare defensive performance in its Game 2 win in Vegas on Wednesday night.

Plus, Oregon has loaded up on four-star recruits expected to develop and perform. Redshirt freshmen Ziyare Addison, Zac Stascausky, Douglas Utu and Demetri Manning have had a year to develop. True freshman Tommy Tofi (6-foot-6, 330 pounds) made quite the impression during spring.

The Ducks got a step closer with a 3-0 win in Game 2 against the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena to tie the Western Conference Second Round best-of-7 series. Game 3 is here Friday (9:30 p.m. ET; HBO MAX, truTV, TNT, SN360, SN, TVAS). Game 4 is here Sunday.

While the Ducks have some solid veterans around this group, their success in 2025-26 has been driven by the likes of Jackson Lacombe, Cutter Gauthier, Leo Carlsson and others that represent what could be the start of a successful long-term stretch in Anaheim.

Tonight’s NHL Playoff slate features the Anaheim Ducks taking on the Las Vegas Golden Knights in Game 2. Vegas leads the series 1-0. The faceoff is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, at 6:30 p.m. PT / 9:30 p.m. ET (7:30 p.m. MT) with a live broadcast on TNT and streaming live on demand.
