In Game 1 of the playoff series, the Anaheim Ducks lost 3-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights, who now lead the best-of-seven series 1-0. The Ducks' coach, Joel Quenneville, was particularly upset with the officiating after a pivotal no-call on icing allowed Ivan Barbashev to score the game-winning goal late in the third period. The game was tied 1-1 when the Ducks pulled their goalie for an extra attacker, but a controversial play in the neutral zone led to Barbashev's goal. Earlier, Brett Howden opened the scoring for the Golden Knights, and Mikael Granlund had tied the game for the Ducks before Barbashev's goal. Mitch Marner sealed the victory with an empty-net goal. Quenneville's post-game comments highlighted his disagreement with the call, stating, “Clearly, I disagreed with the call. Clearly, it was icing.” Game 2 is set to take place at T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. ET.
