NHL conference semifinals preview: One series will go seven games but all should have some entertaining action

The league's best scorer, Connor McDavid, will go up against one of the league's best two-way forwards, Selke finalist Ryan Kesler. McDavid was the NHL's only 100-point scorer, tallying 30 goals with a league-leading 70 assists for Edmonton. He's continued producing in the playoffs with four points (two goals and two assists) in six games. Kesler helped Anaheim put more than half (54.5 percent) of even-strength shot attempts in the Ducks' favor while outscoring opponents, typically the opposition's top forwards, by a score of 48 to 39.

Mike Heika's prediction: Anaheim has won 15 of its last 18 games and could be getting healthier.
