Jacob Trouba isn’t best known for scoring goals, but he again proved capable of putting the puck in the net at key times Wednesday. The former New York Rangers captain scored a crucial goal for the plucky Anaheim Ducks in their 6-4 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 to even their best-of-7 first-round playoff series.
Trouba’s seeing-eye shot from the right point beat Edmonton goalie Tristan Jarry at 2:44 of the second period and gave Anaheim a 2-1 advantage.
It was Trouba’s first Stanley Cup Playoff goal in a Ducks uniform, and fifth career postseason goal. It also was his first tally since his memorable short-handed tally for the Rangers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Second Round against the Carolina Hurricanes in 2024.

Trouba’s goal in Game 2 came on the heels of Chris Kreider doing what he does best: screening a goaltender in the series opener.
Kreider had an assist in Anaheim’s 4-3 Game 1 loss to the Oilers in Edmonton on Sunday, though he did not pick up another point when he occupied Jarry’s eyes on Troy Terry’s power-play goal at 14:29 of the second period.
