Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports

If it was the Anaheim Ducks' plan to make Thursday's Game 4 interesting, they certainly succeeded.

After taking a 2-0 advantage late into the third period, the Ducks watched as the Nashville Predators responded with a cannon from P.K. Subban and a goal with the extra attacker by Filip Forsberg in the dying seconds to send the game to overtime.

Defenseman Kevin Bieksa spoke postgame, suggesting the late collapse was a gift by the team for the fans.

"Well, we're trying to keep the game entertaining. Sell it to the fans," Bieksa said.

As for forward Nate Thompson, he admitted that the Ducks weren't too worried after coughing up the lead late.

"They tied it, and we couldn't come in (to the locker room) and sulk about it," Thompson said. "We went out and took care of business."

That "business" tied the series at two games apiece as both clubs head back to Anaheim for Game 5.
