Video: Getzlaf ties Ducks’ playoff points record

Vatanen goal

The Anaheim Ducks got off to a hot start tonight and that continued late in the first period when Sami Vatanen scored off of the faceoff:

Ryan Getzlaf assisted on that marker, which gives him 18 points in 14 contests. That’s put him in a tie for the Anaheim Ducks’ franchise record for playoff points in a single year with, well, himself. Getzlaf set the record in 2009 with 18 points in 13 contests, per the Ducks’ Twitter feed. He also recorded a team-leading 17 points in 2007 when Anaheim won the Cup.

With the Western Conference Final tied at 2-2, Game 5’s opening period was very one sided. Chicago managed just three shots on goal to Anaheim’s 11, although that was largely because the Blackhawks were missing the net entirely or having its shots blocked by Anaheim. In terms of shots attempted in 5-on-5 play, the frame was actually even as you can see per War on Ice:
