Ducks pull off the improbable against the Golden Knights: a tight defensive game

LAS VEGAS — The Anaheim Ducks can’t play defense. They’re exciting but rely on outscoring their defensive issues. They can’t win in the playoffs with that mindset.Maybe that was an argument after the Ducks eliminated the Edmonton Oilers in a high-scoring opening round. But they shredded the narrative by throttling the Vegas Golden Knights at every turn in a 3-1 Game 2 win Wednesday night that evened this second-round series at a game apiece.Advertisement
