What happened: The Anaheim Ducks captured a pivotal Game 4 on home ice to even their playoff series with the Vegas Golden Knights at 2-2. The home win flips momentum in what had been a back-and-forth matchup, with Anaheim refusing to fall behind in the series. The series now becomes a best-of-three with home-ice advantage still in Vegas's hands.

Why it matters: Game 4 wins by the road-disadvantaged team are historically series-defining swings, and Anaheim's hold-serve effort keeps their postseason alive heading back to Vegas. After splitting the opening pair in Vegas, the Ducks have now matched the Golden Knights blow-for-blow across four games. The pressure shifts squarely onto Vegas, who must defend home ice in Game 5 to avoid an elimination scenario on the road.

What to watch: Game 5 returns to Vegas with the series knotted and momentum on Anaheim's side. Watch for lineup adjustments and goaltending decisions as both teams enter a best-of-three sprint.
