The teams last clashed on Friday for Game 3. The Golden Knights came out fast, scored just 66 seconds into the first period, and didn’t let the Ducks off the mat until the game was out of reach. Anaheim pushed in the third, but it was too little too late, and the Golden Knights won 6-2.
Carter Hart starts in goal for the Golden Knights. Hart has a record of 6-3 and an average save percentage of .915 in nine games this postseason.
Lukáš Dostál starts in goal for the Ducks. Dostál has a record of 5-4 and an average save percentage of .876 in nine games this postseason.
Mark Stone exited Game 3 with a lower-body injury after playing just 4:24, and has been officially ruled OUT ahead of Sunday’s game against the Ducks. Brandon Saad, who last played on April 11th against the Colorado Avalanche, will draw in and make his 2026 postseason debut.
