Nashville trailed 1 to 0 in the second period after a Chris Wagner goal. However it would not stop them from winning the game 3 to 1 against the Anaheim Ducks.

Colin Wilson scored a power-play goal with :41 seconds left in the second-period for the Predators. Pontus Aberg scored the game-winning goal with 8:59 remaining in regulation. He was actually taking into concussion protocol after the goal was scored.

Austin Watson scored an empty-net goal with :48 seconds remaining in the third. The Predators and the Ducks dropped the gloves with under :10 seconds remaining.

John Gibson left the game after the first period with an lower-body injury. He made 10 saves. Jonathan Bernier made 16 saves for the Ducks. Pekka Rinne made 32 saves for the Predators.

Ryan Johansen didn't play for the Predators because of a thigh injury that is side lining him for the rest of the postseason. Nashville leads the series 3-2 and they have a chance to advance to their first ever Stanley Cup Final on Monday Night in Nashville.
