Ducks Defeat Predators 2-1 to Stay in Wild-Card Hunt

Anaheim secures a critical win with Alex Killorn's late goal, ending Nashville's four-game streak.

Alex Killorn scored the game-winning goal midway through the third period on a precise pass from Trevor Zegras, marking his 15th goal of the season.
Troy Terry opened the scoring for Anaheim late in the second period with his 18th goal of the season, capitalizing on a broken stick turnover by Nashville's Justin Barron.
Lukas Dostal was instrumental in the Ducks' victory, making 28 saves, including key stops during a 5-on-3 penalty kill in the third period.
Jakub Vrana netted his first goal as a Predator early in the third period, tying the game 1-1 with a power-play slap shot from the blue line.
The Ducks, who have struggled recently, moved within four points of a Western Conference wild-card spot, while the Predators remain far from playoff contention despite their recent strong form.
