Playoffs Day 36

A crucial game 5 of the Western Conference Finals was in Anaheim where the Predators beat the Ducks 3-1 to take a 3-2 series lead and are now 1 win away from the Stanley Cup Final. They did this without Ryan Johansen and their captain Mike Fisher. The 1st period was dominated by the Ducks, but it was scoreless. The Ducks got their break in the 2nd, but Jonathan Bernier their backup had to play because John Gibson got hurt in the 1st, but they scored first anyways, but the Predators scored 7 minutes later so it was tied going into the 3rd. The Predators took the lead in the 3rd with Pontus Aberg's eventual game winning goal and got an empty netter to seal the deal. The Predators will look to clinch their 1st birth to the Stanley Cup Finals in Nashville for game 6 while the Ducks will look to force a game 7. Will Gibson be back for game 6? Can the Predators clinch with Johansen and Fisher? Who will win game 6? stay tuned....
