5 Goals Rundown: The Anaheim Ducks (42-33-6) conclude their season against the Nashville Predators (38-33-10) at Bridgestone Arena. Coming off a narrow 3-2 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday, Anaheim enters today's contest looking to regroup as they have their sights set on securing the No. 2 seed in the Pacific.

Center Mason McTavish scored both goals for Anaheim, once on a power play during the first period and again on a tip-in as the clock in the third winded down to 45 seconds. Goalie Lukas Dostal finding his poise in the net again is key to the Ducks' chances after he conceded all three goals. Meanwhile, the Predators will sit out this year's postseason following Monday's 3-2 loss to San José.
