NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Corey Perry's short-handed goal at 1:17 of the third period put Anaheim ahead to stay and the Ducks beat the Nashville Predators 6-3 on Wednesday night to tie the first-round series 2-2.

Game 5 is Friday night in Anaheim, with Ducks forward Bobby Ryan set to return from a two-game suspension.

Perry also had two assists. Cam Fowler had a power-play goal and had an assist, and Ryan Getzlaf, Brandon McMillan, Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu added goals.

Patric Hornqvist, Joel Ward and Matt Halischuck scored for Nashville, which blew a chance for its first ever 3-1 series lead.

The Ducks blew open a tight game with three goals in the first 6:46 of the third, starting with Perry's backhander past goalie Pekka Rinne from the right circle. Perry set up Getzlaf's goal at 4:51, and McMillan chased Rinne with his goal.
