Ducks vs. Predators, 2016 NHL playoffs: Time, TV schedule and live stream

The Ducks are on their heels after dropping both games at home to the Predators. Now, they'll have to win in a hostile away environment if they want to keep themselves in this series. Puck drop is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET on USA.

No one on Anaheim has looked good through the first two games of this series. Both losses were by a score of 3-2 and it's not a stretch to think Bruce Boudreau will turn to Frederik Andersen Game 3 in lieu of rookie John Gibson.

Full BB quote on Gibson: He was OK. I don’t know if I could fault him on any of the goals. I’d have to talk to the goalie coach and find out

The tandem of Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf have just one goal between the pair of them. If Anaheim wins this game, it will hopefully be because of the Ducks' stars finding their strides.

Everything that has gone right for Nashville has in two games so far of this series. Pekka Rinne has seemingly returned to form after an off regular season. James Neal and Filip Forsberg have been key players in the Predators' dangerous offense. And so far, they've been able to stop the Ducks and silence one of the league's best teams down the stretch. Nashville can really put a nail in the coffin of Anaheim if they continue to play their game plan while Rinne holds the fort down in goal.
