Dustin Penner scores GWG tonight as Ducks take commanding 3-1 lead in Cup
finals. Good for him.
OTTAWA (AP) -- Andy McDonald bailed out Chris Pronger and set up Southern
California for a playoff party like never before.
The Anaheim Ducks are within a win of their first Stanley Cup
championship.
McDonald scored two goals in the second period, then shook free of
hard-hitting Chris Neil and assisted on Dustin Penner's winner in the
third, giving Anaheim a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Monday
night.
The Ducks will carry a 3-1 series advantage back home to Anaheim, where
they are 7-0 in clinching games, including 3-0 this year. But this one is
different, and it all became possible because of the Ducks' first road win
in the finals in six chances over two series.
Anaheim is 5-0 in the finals on home ice and can secure Southern
California's first Stanley Cup title as early as Wednesday night.
Anaheim got it done despite a miserable first period in which it was
outshot 13-2 without Pronger, a Norris Trophy finalist who served a
one-game suspension for an elbow to the head of Ottawa's Dean McAmmond in
Game 3 on Saturday.
