The Ducks, who are 16-9 all-time in Game 4, their best winning percentage (.640) of any playoff-series game in their history, aren't underselling the importance of finishing off the Flames with their first opportunity.
"I know it sounds cliche, but it is the hardest (to win)," Anaheim forward Nate Thompson said. "The team on the other side is desperate. It's the biggest game of the year. They have a chance to keep this series going and we have a chance to close it out.
"I think whenever you have a chance to close a series out you want to. This is a huge opportunity for us, and it's a huge opportunity for them. It's going to be a battle out there."
