First Period

With the MTS Centre rocking and the Winnipeg faithful seeing their first dose of playoff hockey since Nikolai Khabibulin tended the nets for the original Jets, the Ducks came out cautiously taking multiple icings and Frederik Andersen holding for face offs to try and slow the tempo of the game. The Jets got the first four shots of the game, and it was the Anaheim fourth line of Tomas Fleischmann (drawing in to replace an injured Chris Wagner) centering with Emerson Etem and Tim Jackman that got the first chance of the game for the Ducks.
