What happened: Anaheim Ducks forward Gauthier scored the go-ahead goal with 2:28 left in the third period of Game 4, lifting Anaheim to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. The win evens their first-round playoff series at 2 games apiece after the Kings held a 2-1 lead entering the contest. Gauthier's tally came off a scramble in front of the net.

Why it matters: Tying the series shifts momentum to the Ducks heading into Game 5 at home, where they boast a strong playoff record. Historically, series tied 2-2 go to Game 7 about 35% of the time in NHL playoffs.

What to watch: Focus on Game 5 Thursday in Anaheim; watch Kings' response and Ducks' goaltending stability.
