ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Leo Carlsson, Troy Terry and Chris Kreider had a goal
and two assists apiece, and the Anaheim Ducks eliminated Connor McDavid the
two-time defending Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers with a 5-2
victory in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series Thursday night.
Cutter Gauthier had a goal and an assist, Ryan Poehling scored the opening goal
and Lukas Dostal made 25 saves in a standout performance for the upstart Ducks,
who stormed to their team's first playoff series victory since 2017.
After ending a seven-year postseason absence by knocking out the powerhouse
Oilers, Anaheim will face the winner of the Vegas Golden Knights' series with
the Utah Mammoth. Vegas leads 3-2 heading to Salt Lake City on Friday night.
Connor Murphy and Vasily Podkolzin scored as Edmonton followed up its worst
regular season since 2021 by going out in the first round for the first time
since that season.
