Anaheim nearly doubled the amount of shots that Edmonton had put up (39-24) in Game 3, while committing just a total of two penalties throughout most of the game until the very end when fights broke out.
Teams that started their series on the road to take a 2-1 lead go on to the next round 61% of the time.
For the Ducks, the last time they won a playoff series was against the Edmonton Oilers in 2017, which went the entire seven games.
Game 4 of the series is scheduled for April 26th.
Recap & Highlights
Anaheim had a pair of first period power plays and made sure to take advantage on one of them.
But Edmonton's Vasily Podkolzin scored his first goal of the playoffs (unassisted) to put the Oilers on the board first to give them a 1-0 lead.
But the Ducks would respond with a pair just three minutes later.
The first goal to tie it up 1-1 came from Mason McTavish, his first of the playoffs, with assists by Drew Helleson and Tyson Hinds, also their firsts.
It marked Anaheim's first goal at home in the playoffs since Hampus Lindholm in 2018.
The second Ducks goal of the first period came on their second power play following Josh Samanski's high-sticking.
Mikael Granlund scored his first of the playoffs to put the Ducks on top 2-1, with assists by Leo Carlsson and Chris Kreisler, their second of the playoffs.
But that lead would quickly fade heading into the second period...
Edmonton began to rally back just four minutes into the second to tie things back up.
Kasperi Kapanen scored his third goal of the playoffs to make it a 2-2 game with assists from Leon Draisaitl (4) and Connor Murphy (1).
Then, Edmonton would retake the lead 1:41 later.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored his first goal to give the Oilers a 3-2 lead as Connor McDavid, who has been a ghost this series, finally recorded his first point of the playoffs with an assist, along with Evan Bouchard's first assist.
It marked Bouchard's 62nd career playoff assist, surpassing Charlie Huddy for the eighth-most all-time in Oilers franchise history.
With just over seven minutes to go into the second, the Ducks would rally back once more to tie it up before heading into the third period.
Alex Killorn scored his 39th career playoff goal to make it two straight games with at least one to make it a 3-3 game.
Anaheim headed into the third period outshooting the Oilers 31-19, having not committed a single penalty up until that point.
The Ducks wasted no time as they doubled down on their goal effort to get out to just a big enough lead needed to secure a Game 3 win.
Beckett Sennecke scored his first goal of the playoffs to put the Ducks up 4-3 only 2:53 into the third period.
Then, just 42 seconds later, Leo Carlsson scored his second of the series to make it 5-3.
Edmonton would begin to fight back, but it wasn't enough.
After recording his first point of the playoffs with an assist earlier, McDavid would find the net to cut the lead to 5-4.
The Oilers would go on a crucial power play shortly after, but McDavid was called for a cross-checking to make it a 4-on-4, then a Ducks power play, ultimately shutting the door on their chances in Game 3.
The Ducks would tack on two more, the first being Jeffrey Viel's first career playoff goal, then the empty netter from Jackson LaCombe, his first of the playoffs, to seal the door shut on a major win.
