Anaheim Ducks surge to a 3-1 series lead as Jackson LaCombe dominates both ends of the ice—can this young squad pull off a playoff shocker in Edmonton? Kyle Kjer spotlights LaCombe's standout performances, from shutting down Connor McDavid to leading the NHL playoffs in points, and questions what Team USA missed by leaving him off their Olympic roster.

Mikael Granlund’s relentless forechecking and timely offense provide crucial balance, while veterans like Alex Killorn fuel Anaheim’s confidence and chemistry. Key topics include defensive improvements, the impact of Pat Verbeek’s roster moves, and the high-stakes mind games around Connor McDavid’s game-time status. With the Ducks on the brink, can they complete the upset and announce themselves as true Stanley Cup contenders?
