Predators vs. Ducks live stream, Game 5: TV schedule, online and more
By Adam Stocker
After winning Game 4 in overtime, the Anaheim Ducks return home to face the Nashville Predators in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final on Saturday, May 20.
The Anaheim Ducks evened the Western Conference Finals with the Nashville Predators, winning Game 4, 3-2 in overtime. Anaheim return home looking to do what no other team has done in the playoffs beat Nashville in back to back games.
John Gibson was excellent in net for Anaheim in Game 4. The Ducks will need another great performance in net if they are going to beat the Predators in Game 5. After being inconsistent last round against Edmonton, Gibson has played very well in net but the Ducks’ have not provided enough goal support.
Corey Perry scored the overtime winner in Game 4, and his second in as many games. After having minimal impact in the first two games of the series, the Ducks need Perry to continue producing offensively.
Ryan Johansen struggled in both home games for the Predators. After scoring a goal and three assists in the first two games, Johansen only had one shot in the past two games. Nashville needs Johansen to produce offensively. The Predators do not have enough offensive depth to make up for a Johansen cold streak.
