The Anaheim Ducks capitalized on three gift-wrapped turnovers caused by the Detroit Red Wings in a 4-1 loss for the Wings in Anaheim.
Saku Koivu scored the games first goal on a shorthanded breakaway. The goal was Detroit’s first shorthanded goal against this season, making them the last team to allow one. Anaheim’s Matt Beleskey scored a goal on a rebound. Valtteri Filppula scored the Wing’s lone goal halfway through the third period, but quickly a turnover by the Wings gave Corry Perry his first goal in 10 games. Anaheim’s Kyle Chipchura scored an empty net goal.
The Red Wings played horribly in the first period and lost the game within the first eight minutes. Despite playing better later on, the Wings were chasing the Duck the remainder of the game. The big issue tonight for both teams was the amount of penalties. Both team took 10 penalties, although a significant number of them were shared penalties, and many of the games best opportunities came to the teams when they were shorthanded.
In Play! Man of the Game: Jonas Hiller. Hiller stopped 38 of Detroit’s 39 shots, the one goal that he did allow he really had no chance to stop.
