Ducks 4, Red Wings 3 (Shootout)
Right wingers Corey Perry and Jakob Silfverberg scored in the
shootout for Anaheim, besting the lone goal from Detroit's Gustav
Nyquist as the Ducks won their third straight.
Anaheim's streak comes after having lost five of six games, and
their latest triumph came after they trailed 2-0 before scoring
three third-period goals, all on rebounds.
Detroit center Pavel Datsyuk scored the first two goals of the game,
with center Riley Sheahan adding a late equalizer for the Red Wings
(33-14-11).
Andrew Cogliano and Emerson Etem tallied in the third period for
Anaheim, as did defenseman Francois Beauchemin.

Detroit's Jimmy Howard stopped 22 of 25 shots he faced while
Anaheim's John Gibson made 35 of 38 saves.
Anaheim (38-16-7) was challenged to sustain possession through the
night, let alone pressure. They were outshot 22-10 through 40
minutes as Detroit controlled the puck effectively at even strength.
