NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Anaheim Ducks keep traipsing to the penalty box over and over against the Nashville Predators.
Thanks to the NHL's best penalty killers, it hasn't hurt them yet, and now the Ducks head home having dug themselves out of an 0-2 series hole
Nate Thompson and Jamie McGinn scored nearly 2 minutes apart late in the second period, and the Ducks beat the Nashville Predators 4-1 on Thursday night to even the first-round series 2-2.
"We're playing with fire," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "We've got to keep them to two or three minors a game, or it gets too hard on all your players that kill the penalties, like (Ryan) Getzlaf, (Jakob) Silfverberg, (Corey) Perry and (Andrew) Cogliano.
