Anaheim won all three regular-season meetings by the same score of 4-3, but the Ducks didn't face current Knights No. 1 goalie Carter Hart in any of those -- or have they faced Vegas since John Tortorella took over as head coach. Completely different club since then. Could be a bit of an Anaheim trap spot, too, after the upset of Edmonton in Round 1. This is new territory for most of the Ducks.

Jack Eichel enters the second round as the driving force behind the Vegas offense. He tallied 9 points (1G, 8A) in the 6-game series against Utah. More importantly, his ice time ranks among the highest for forwards in the league, averaging 24:22 per game. Serving as the primary distributor on the top line and the focal point of the top power-play unit, Eichel is involved in nearly every high-danger scoring chance Vegas generates. Anaheim’s defense is a major liability, especially in Game 1 when both teams are still feeling each other out. Adjustments are typically made after the opener.
