ANAHEIM, Calif. — Penalties, like they did in the first three-quarters of the regular season, reared up and bit the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.
Bad timing for them, since it was the first game of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Anaheim Ducks clicked for two power-play goals in three chances and roared to a comeback 4-2 win in Game 1 of the best-of-seven Pacific Division first-round series.
Game 2 is Saturday at Honda Center.
The Ducks didn’t score a single power-play goal in their final seven games of the regular season. And the last time they scored two in a game was when the Jets visited on Jan.
