Series Update: The Ducks Avoid a 1-3 Deficit and a Trip Back to Vegas

Last night, there were two NHL games.

The Ducks and the Knights were also in action. Anaheim didn't give up and avoided returning to Vegas trailing 1-3 in the series. The series is tied 2-2.

Home-ice advantage prevailed on Sunday as the @CanadiensMTL took a 2-1 series lead in front of a capacity crowd, while the @AnaheimDucks claimed a win to tie the series at two games apiece.#NHLStats: https://t.co/IXJwgBnrnM pic.twitter.com/gVawYGez6Z

William Karlsson, however, made a great play a little later.

He sacrificed himself so that Brett Howden could tie the game.

As had been the case throughout the game, Anaheim regained the lead.

Alex Killorn scored his team's third goal, and from there on out, the Ducks never looked back.
