The Pacific Division champion Anaheim Ducks open their first round Stanley Cup Playoff series with the Nashville Predators on Friday with Stanley Cup Final aspirations in sight.
The Ducks have advanced one round further in each of the past three seasons, losing in Game 7 last spring to the eventual champion Chicago Blackhawks. But they’ll need to take down a pesky Predators team that took two of three games from Anaheim during the regular season. One note in their favor? The home team won every game between these clubs this season, which bodes well for the higher-seeded Ducks.
NBC Live Extra is streaming the game online and through its app. Here’s how to watch Game 1 of Ducks vs. Predators:
