Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET, the Anaheim Ducks and Dallas Stars faceoff for Game 4 of their Round 1 best-of-seven Stanley Cup Playoffs series live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The game can be live streamed for free here. Anaheim fans can hear all of the action on KLAA 830 while Dallas fans can do the same on 1310 The Ticket.
Anaheim looks to bounce back from its Game 3 loss and take a commanding 3-1 series lead back to California while Dallas tries to build on its Game 3 lead and win its second straight home game to draw the series even. The Ducks took the first two games before the Stars countered with a Game 3 victory.
The Ducks will look to counter the Stars' physical play in Game 3 with goals.
"You counteract that if you score a couple of goals on the power play," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said per NHL.com. "If you're not going to make them pay when they're doing things, automatically they're going to keep doing things because they have no fear of you."
Lindy Ruff found himself having to explain his decison to bench Erik Cole in Game 3 after he wasn't playing up to par in the eight games he appeared in since returning from an injury.
"That was just my decision, a coach's decision," Ruff said via NHL.com. "What was behind it was, I don't think since he's come back from injury his play has been where I needed it to be. In fact, there was some situations that have been tough on the team. You have to make decisions about that stuff and that was a hard decision. That was just my decision."
Jamie Benn has paced the Stars with three points off of two goals and one assist while Colton Sceviour has also notched three points off of a tally and two helpers.
Ryan Getzlaf has led the Ducks in the series with four points off of two goals and two assists while Corey Perry (one goal, one assist) and Francois Beauchemin (two assists) and Matt Beleskey (one goal, one assist) each have two points.
Frederik Andersen will man the crease for Anaheim while Kari Lehtonen will be between the pipes for Dallas.
The Ducks and Stars take the ice for Game 4 of their best-of-seven opening-round series as part of the Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
