Stanley Cup Playoffs 2015: Latest Talking Points for Ducks vs. Blackhawks Game 6

The Anaheim Ducks can advance to the Stanley Cup Final for the third time in franchise history with a win over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 6 of their third-round playoff series on Wednesday, and there's no shortage of talking points going into this matchup.

After suffering a 5-4 overtime loss in Game 5 on Monday, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville is contemplating a lineup adjustment. Tracey Myers of CSNChicago.com reports defenseman Kimmo Timonen may be replaced by David Rundblad.

Timonen has played in all 15 of Chicago's playoff games and was on the ice for two of Anaheim's goals in Game 5.

Rundblad's only playoff appearance so far came in Game 1, and the Blackhawks allowed two goals in his 10 minutes and 47 seconds of ice time.

The 24-year-old told reporters that pace will be one of his main focuses entering this game—if he does in fact play. "Small things: Be quicker, that's the biggest key. Move the puck quicker," Rundblad said. "It'll help me out a lot if i just do that."

Chicago's lineup shouldn't impact the Ducks' approach, however.

They have been aggressive and physical in the offensive zone all series, and it's worked. Expect no different on Wednesday night.

Corey Perry said the Ducks have to continue to do what they've been doing to this point in the series, per Paul Skrbina of the Chicago Tribune.

"You have to believe that you can win in that building again," Perry said. "Play that forechecking style, shoot the puck, get on their 'D.' It was effective [Monday night] and that's how we have to continue to do it."

Judging by the way Ducks goaltender Frederik Andersen has played over the last two games, they will need to create plenty of scoring opportunities to stay in the contest.

Andersen allowed a combined nine goals in Games 4 and 5—as many as he surrendered during his previous five playoff outings.

His performance in net can be the difference between the Ducks cruising to the Stanley Cup Final or the team finding itself in another high-scoring overtime battle.

With that said, Andersen's teammates have faith that their netminder will bounce back in Game 6.

Per Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register, defenseman Cam Fowler thinks his goaltender has just had a couple of off nights. Fowler said the team hasn't lost any confidence in the guy who went 35-12 during the regular season.

"We're happy to have him back there," Fowler said. "We know he's going to respond and have a great Game 6."

The Ducks don't want to lose this game and have the momentum shift Chicago's way going into a potential Game 7.

Stephens tweeted that Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau alluded to the Tampa Bay Lightning's Game 6 loss to the New York Rangers when addressing his team:

In much the same way that Andersen raised his level of play in series-clinching games against the Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets in the first two rounds, expect a standout performance from the goaltender.

It will be a mostly stress-free third period for Ducks fans, as Anaheim holds on for a 4-2 win behind solid play from Andersen and a ferocious offense.
