After the Bruins tied their series with the Canadiens with a wild late push Saturday afternoon, the final second-round series got underway Saturday night in Southern California.
Sunday's games feature Game 2 in the Wild-Hawks (3 p.m. EDT) and Penguins-Rangers (7:30 p.m. EDT) series.
Out west is the first time the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks have met in the playoffs, and it should be fantastic -- keeping with what is a growing history of excellent intra-California battles.
This one will be lots of "power on power" with big top lines, some dirty wingers, and some mobile attacking defensemen on each side. In Anaheim's goalie carousel, Jonas Hiller is expected to start.
