All of the pressure in Game 6 will be on the Anaheim Ducks, as a victory for the hosts will secure their passage through to the next round of the playoffs. However, the Ducks will need to pick themselves up following a disappointing 4-1 road loss earlier this week.
Alex Killorn scored the only goal in the defeat, while assists were registered by Cutter Gauthier and Mason McTavish. Lukas Dostal endured a night to forget in the Ducks goal, allowing three goals from just 15 shots.
