The Predators leave California with a 2-0 lead in the series after another 3-2 win over the Ducks tonight. Holy. Mackerel.
Nashville rolled out the same lines as Game 1, for good reason. Anaheim had one new face: Kevin Bieksa returned from injury to replace the injured Josh Manson. The first period was pretty rowdy. Very physical play, several penalties, and a good amount of post-whistle conferences. After the Ducks went up 1-0, the Preds tied it up before the first intermission. Though the Ducks dominated most of the play in the 1st, the Preds fought back to tie it up.
