The Ducks, who lost the first two games of their first-round series to the San Jose Sharks at home, will get the next chance to earn a win for Southern California when they face the Sharks on Monday night at SAP Center. The Kings, who lost the first three games of their series against the Vegas Golden Knights, will try to avoid elimination Tuesday at Staples Center.
The Ducks have been down two games after opening a series at home in three of their previous four playoff ventures. In 2017 they lost the first two games of their second-round series against Edmonton at home but rallied to win the series in seven games.
