Ducks vs. Kings - 2014 SCP Second Round

Ducks, Kings to face off for first time in playoffs

Brian Compton - NHL.com Deputy Managing Editor

The Anaheim Ducks entered the NHL in 1993. Twenty-one years later, they will face the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time.

Los Angeles became the fourth team in League history to come back from a 3-0 series deficit when they earned a 5-1 victory against the San Jose Sharks in Game 7 of their Western Conference First Round series Wednesday.

It sets up the first-ever playoff series between the Kings and Ducks, who are separated by roughly 30 miles on the I-5 Freeway.

Game 1 is scheduled to take place Saturday at Honda Center in Anaheim (8 p.m. ET).

"This highly anticipated Kings-Ducks playoff series will capture the excitement and the imagination of the most casual hockey and sports fan in Southern California in addition to our loyal, die-hard Kings fans," Kings President of Business Operations Luc Robitaille said. "We believe this series can help continue to spur even more interest in our great sport in our great city."

If the Anaheim Ducks need a big goal in their Western Conference Second Round series, don't be surprised if Nick Bonino scores it.

The 26-year-old forward had three goals in the Ducks' first-round series win against the Dallas Stars, but two of them came in Anaheim's 5-4 victory in Game 6, which clinched the series for the Ducks. He triggered a late-game comeback by scoring with 2:10 left in regulation to cut Anaheim's deficit to 4-3, then got the overtime winner at 2:47.

"It's tough to describe," Bonino said Tuesday at Honda Center. "It's almost like your mind goes blank. You're just so happy. There's euphoria, just pure happiness."
