Wings Tie up the series with a 6-3 win


Franzen and Hossa net two goals each to lead the way

The Ducks came out firing and took an early 1-0 lead on a Corey Perry goal. Coach Mike Babcock switched up his lines and the Wings responded. Babcock paired Franzen and Hossa on a line with Valteri Filpulla at center and the Wings caught fire. They led 2-1 after the first period on Franzen's two goals.

The Ducks tied it up on another Perry goal early in the second but then the Wings new line struck again. Hossa scored back-to-back goals to give the Wings a 4-2 lead and their first two goal lead of the series.

Mikael Samuelsson scored on a perfect snap shot early in the third period and the Ducks pulled young goalie Jonas Hiller from the game for J.S. Giguere and it was all over but the crying. Scott Niedermayer scored on a perfectly executed power play before Zetteberg scored an empty netter to close out the game.
