Stanley Cup Playoffs: Rangers Force Game Seven With Caps; Ducks Finish Off Flames With OT Tally, Get Blackhawks Next

The Stanley Cup Playoffs continued on Sunday with two games.

EASTERN CONFERENCE:

At Washington:

Chris Kreider scored twice in the first period, with one of the goals scored on the power play, as the New York Rangers defeated the Washington Capitals 4-3 on the road and squared their conference semifinal series at three games apiece.

The series will conclude at New York on Wednesday night.

This is the fifth time that the Capitals will be playing a game seven after blowing a three-games-to-one series lead.  They lost on all four previous occasions.



WESTERN CONFERENCE:

Corey Perry scored the game-and-series-winning goal at 2:26 of overtime as the Anaheim Ducks defeated the visiting Calgary Flames 3-2 and won their conference semifinal series four games to one.

The Ducks will take on the Chicago Blackhawks in their first conference final since 2007, the year they won the Stanley Cup.  Anaheim will have home-ice advantage in this upcoming series.
