What happened: Anaheim picked up a Game 4 win on home ice to knot its second-round series with the Vegas Golden Knights at 2-2. The result follows Vegas taking Game 1 at home before Anaheim evened things in Game 2 and the series shifted to California. ESPN flagged the win as the Ducks' second of the series.

Why it matters: A 2-2 split flips home-ice advantage back to Vegas but turns the series into a best-of-three, with the Ducks proving they can win in either building. After dropping the opener, Anaheim has now matched the Golden Knights blow-for-blow, and the swing in series win probability is significant heading into a pivotal Game 5. Momentum and goaltending become the storylines as both teams reset.

What to watch: Game 5 shifts back to Vegas with the series tied and home-ice leverage on the line. Watch for lineup and goaltending decisions from both benches after a physical four-game stretch.
