STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS
Thursday’s Western Conference Finals
Ducks 3, Predators 2, OT
NASHVILLE, TENN.
Corey Perry’s shot deflected in off Nashville defenseman P.K. Subban’s stick 10:25 into overtime, and the Ducks snapped the Predators’ 10-game home playoff winning streak with a victory that evened the Western Conference finals at 2-2. John Gibson made 32 saves for Anaheim, which was the last team to beat the Predators in Nashville in the playoffs last spring in Game 4 of their first-round series. Rickard Rakell and Nick Ritchie staked the Ducks to a 2-0 lead. But Subban scored with 6:27 left, and Filip Forsberg tied it with 34.5 seconds remaining in regulation with his fourth goal in four games. The Predators had matched the 1997-98 Detroit Red Wings with their 10-game winning streak but missed matching Colorado’s 11-0 playoff run in 1996-97. Perry ended the second overtime in this series with a goal originally credited to Thompson. Game 5 is Saturday night in Anaheim.
