KEYS TO GAME 2

1

The on-ice officials’ decision that a goal by Jets defenseman Adam Pardy at 15:43 of the second period should stand even though Jets forward Lee Stempniak impeded Ducks goaltender Frederik Andersen from making the save. They huddled and concluded Stempniak had been pushed into Andersen by Ducks center Ryan Kesler. Tough but probably the right call.

The Ducks’ power play, so feeble during the regular season that it ranked 28th among 30 teams, is three for seven against the Jets. Patrick Maroon’s tying goal for the Ducks on Saturday came while Winnipeg forward Andrew Ladd was in the penalty box.

Ducks right wing Jakob Silfverberg, who struggled offensively early this season, has shown a nice scoring touch when it counts. His goal with 21 seconds left in the third period Saturday was deftly placed, right under goalie Ondrej Pavelec’s arm.
