What a turn of events in the Western Conference Final between the Anaheim Ducks and Nashville Predators.
The Ducks won Game 4 in overtime on Thursday to even the series. The following day, it was revealed that Nashville’s top center and point producer in the playoffs, Ryan Johansen, had hip surgery and is done for the postseason. That’s a major blow to the Predators’ Stanley Cup playoff chances.
On Saturday, the Ducks and Predators clash in Game 5 at the Honda Center. The winner moves within one victory of reaching the Stanley Cup Final.
