The top-seeded Anaheim Ducks bested the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 6 of the NHL’s Western Conference finals on Monday, giving the team a 3-2 series lead.
Though the Ducks jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period period, two goals from Blackhawks centre Jonathan Toews would eventually tie the score and send the game into overtime. Still, Anaheim’s Matt Beleskey notched the game winner only 45 seconds into OT.
WATCH:
Though Beleskey sealed the game’s outcome, Anaheim got some serious help from a former “Ducks” star; 80’s movie royalty and star of Disney’s “The Mighty Ducks” was live tweeting Anaheim’s victory.
