Cutter Gauthier scored two goals, including the go-ahead marker with five minutes remaining after Edmonton erased a two-goal lead. Lukáš Dostál made 33 saves, as Anaheim held Connor McDavid scoreless through the first two games of the series.

The Anaheim Ducks will be without their captain in Game 2 against the Edmonton Oilers. Defenseman Radko Gudas has been ruled out with an undisclosed injury per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440.

Edmonton Oilers winger Colton Dach and Anaheim Ducks defenceman Olen Zellweger grew up two doors apart in Fort Saskatchewan, buddies from the time they were in elementary school, so there’s a rich history there.
