DETROIT (AP) --
DETROIT (AP) - Dan Cleary's tiebreaking goal with 3 minutes left
lifted the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks on
Thursday night and sent the defending Stanley Cup champions back to
the Western Conference finals.
Anaheim's Jonas Hiller made 36 saves, and Chris Osgood stopped
24 shots for the defending champions, who couldn't protect an early
two-goal lead.
Jiri Hudler, Darren Helm and Mikael Samuelsson scored for the
Red Wings, who will next face the Chicago Blackhawks in a matchup
of Original Six teams.
Teemu Selanne and Corey Perry cut into deficits and Bobby Ryan
made it 3-all at 7:37 of the third.
