Ducks 3, Red Wings 3, going to third OT.

Can you say “instant classic”?


All of Southern California owes Jonas Hiller an adult beverage after the Ducks’ goalie stopped an additional 13 shots in the second overtime to preserve the 3-3 tie. Chris Osgood has stopped 13 shots in the two OT periods combined. Both teams are still generating scoring chances; they’re just not pretty at this point.

Also, Ryan Carter (who was a healthy scratch late in the regular season and early in the first-round series against the Sharks) has suddenly been promoted to the first line with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. Bobby Ryan is now skating with Teemu Selanne and Andrew Ebbett on the second line.

Catch it live on NBC when play resumes, or just wait a couple years and catch the replay on the NHL Network.
