Playoffs

Selanne took his game to the old level we have been accustomed to seeing. He skated hard every game and even threw more body checks than usual. He made a few great passes behind the net or near the net that lead to Ducks goals in each round.

Selanne scored a goal in Game 1 and Game 3 against the Los Angeles Kings. In Game 1, he scored giving the Ducks a 2-1 lead. It looked like it would have been the game winning goal, until the Kings tied the game late in regulation. Unfortunately the Kings went on to win in overtime.

In Game 3 Selanne scored on the power play on a great pass by Nick Bonino to give the Ducks a 2-1 lead. It appeared to be the game winning goal again with the Ducks leading 3-1. The Kings scored a late goal making Ben Lovejoy‘s goal the game winner instead.

The rest during the regular season paid off as Selanne skated with much more speed in the playoffs. Selanne was the sixth highest scoring Duck player in the playoffs this year.
