NHL: “Anaheim” equalized in the series with “Nashville”

“Anaheim” and “Nashville” played the second match of the Western conference finals.

The first decisive match of the series in the West ended in overtime after the exact throw of the forward of “Nashville” James Neal. Anaheim was in a difficult situation, because the second home defeat could put “ducks” on the edge of the abyss.

The situation has worsened after the opening minutes of the second half – Johansen and Neil to the middle of the first period provided the “Nashville” tangible advantage. “Anaheim” before the break managed to reduce the gap to minimum – Vatanen from an acute angle slapped the puck into Rinne, who failed to react to a powerful shot.

In the second period, “Nashville” lasted only 39 seconds, Silfverberg scored the ninth goal in the play-offs and returned to his team in the game. Seven minutes later Forsberg again brought guests forward, but the washer case and Ritchie finally made the “Anaheim” master of the situation.

All the attempts of the guests to get back in the game neutralized the goalkeeper “ducks” Gibson, and in the last minute of the match Vermett had a test shot.
