DETROIT (AP) --
      DETROIT (AP) - Darren Helm scored 3:58 into overtime to give the
Detroit Red Wings a 2-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on
Wednesday night in the Western Conference finals and set up a
Stanley Cup finals rematch with Pittsburgh.
      Detroit's Dan Cleary opened the scoring 6:08 into the third
period, and Chicago's Patrick Kane tied it with 7:07 left in
regulation with his first goal of the series.
      Cristobal Huet, playing for the injured Nikolai Khabibulin, made
44 saves for the Blackhawks. He forced overtime with a spectacular
stop from his stomach, lifting his right leg to knock away Johan
Franzen's shot in the closing seconds.
      Detroit's Chris Osgood stopped 30 shots.
