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.

Progression looked incredibly unlikely for the Edmonton Oilers before their recent home game against the Ducks, but a powerful home win means that they are now just two victories away from a spot in the next round.

The Oilers showed their quality in a strong opening period on Tuesday, scoring three times. Evan Bouchard was in excellent form, registering three assists. Meanwhile, Leon Draisaitl was clinical in front of goal, scoring from two of his four shots.
