Gauthier breaks late tie as the Ducks beat the Oilers 6-4 in Game 2 to even
series
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) --- Cutter Gauthier broke a tie off a rebound with 4:52
left and the Anaheim Ducks beat Edmonton 6-4 on Wednesday night in Game 2 to
even the first-round series, with Oilers star Connor McDavid slowed by an
apparent leg injury.
McDavid appeared to catch an edge early in the second period after getting
tangled up with teammate Mattias Ekholm and the Ducks' Ian Moore. McDavid
briefly left the game before returning, playing just over 24 minutes.
Game 3 is Friday night in Anaheim. Edmonton opened the series Monday night with
a 4-3 victory.
Gauthier put the Ducks back in front after Josh Samanski --- making his playoff
debut --- tied it at 4 with 6:09 to go. Ryan Poehling put it away with an
empty-netter with 1:10 left, his second goal of the game. He scored
short-handed in the second.
Gauthier also scored on a first-period power play and set up Alex Killorn's
second-period goal on a man advantage. Killorn added two assists.
Jacob Trouba added a goal, fellow defenseman Jackson LaCombe had three assists
and Lukas Dostal stopped 33 shots.
Leon Draisaitl had a goal and an assist for Edmonton. He returned for Game 1
from a lower-body injury against Nashville on March 15.
Connor Murphy and Zach Hyman also scored for the Oilers, and Connor Ingram made
22 saves.
