What happened

Anaheim picked up a vital Game 4 victory on home ice to even its second-round series with Vegas at 2-2. The Ducks now head back to Vegas with the series reset to a best-of-three, having traded home wins through the first four games.

Why it matters

After the Golden Knights took Game 1 at home, the Ducks have answered every punch, evening the series in Game 2 and now reclaiming home-ice momentum with Game 4. A 2-2 series flips the pressure back to Vegas, who must now defend home ice in Game 5 or risk facing elimination on the road.

What to watch

Game 5 returns to Vegas with the series knotted and momentum on Anaheim's side. Watch for Golden Knights lineup adjustments and whether the Ducks can steal another road game to take a stranglehold on the series.
