The Anaheim Ducks faced their biggest challenge yet against the Vegas Golden Knights—and turned it into their greatest triumph. On Sunday night at Honda Center, the Ducks' power play finally found its rhythm, going 2-for-4 to help secure a 4-3 victory and even the series at 2-2.

Heading into Game 4, Vegas boasted one of the most formidable penalty kills in the playoffs. Through the first two rounds, the Golden Knights had successfully killed off 26 of 27 penalties and were riding an impressive streak of 21 consecutive kills. It seemed like an immovable force—until the Ducks broke through.

"A lot of times, you could move the puck around too much and you kind of look for the perfect opportunity on power play," said Alex Killorn. "I think for us, it's just about getting more chances and more shots on net. Typically, on a power play, the more times you shoot it, a lot happens off rebounds or a puck will go in the corner and you can create plays off of that. So it's not about getting the perfect play. I think we just did a better job getting pucks to the net today."

After a disappointing 6-2 loss in Game 3, the Ducks came out determined to set the tone early. They controlled the pace of play from the opening puck drop, and just seven minutes in, Dylan Coghlan was sent to the box for interference, giving Anaheim its first power-play opportunity.

Rookie sensation Beckett Sennecke made the most of it. The 20-year-old unleashed a rocket of a one-timer from just beyond the right faceoff dot, firing it through the five-hole of Carter Hart for the power-play goal. It marked Sennecke's third straight playoff game with a goal, bringing his postseason total to four—an impressive feat for a first-year player.

"A lot," Sennecke said when asked how much fun he's having in these playoffs. "It's really, really cool, and it's kind of something that you dream of. Having it in my first year is super fortunate."

But the momentum shifted quickly. Just over 30 seconds later, Ross Johnston took an interference penalty of his own, giving Vegas a power-play chance. The Golden Knights capitalized when a shot deflected off Mitch Marner's glove, and Lukáš Dostál couldn't corral the rebound cleanly. Pavel Dorofeyev was there to tap it in, tying the game at 1-1.

The game remained a back-and-forth battle, but the Ducks' power play proved to be the difference-maker. After Mikael Granlund added another key goal, Anaheim held on for the win, proving that even the most dominant penalty kill can be cracked with patience, shots, and a little bit of rookie magic.
