• The Ducks and Red Wings will compete in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals on Sunday (May 10) at 2 p.m. PDT/5 p.m. EDT.

• With two assists tonight, Ryan Getzlaf extended his League-leading point streak to eight games (2 goals, 12 assists, 14 points). He leads the NHL in both postseason scoring and assists (3+13=16).

• Corey Perry established a new career high for points in a postseason game with 2-1=3 tonight. It was also his first career postseason multi-goal game. He has earned 2-3=5 points in the last three games and 6-4=10 in the last seven.

• In addition, Perry's goal at 0:42 of the first period tonight tied a franchise postseason record for fastest goal scored to start a game. Petr Sykora scored 42 seconds into Game 5 of the 2003 Stanley Cup Final at New Jersey Devils (June 5, 2003).

• Chris Pronger extended his point streak to five games (1-6=7) with an assist in tonight's contest. His five-game point streak is tied for the longest by a defenseman in the postseason (also CHI's Seabrook) Pronger continues to co-lead all NHL defensemen in scoring (2-7=9, also DET's Lidstrom).

• Scott Niedermayer has a three-game point streak (2-1=3), which includes goals in each of the past two games. He has also earned points in five of the last six games (2-4=6).

• Tonight's attendance was 17,601 (including standing-room-only tickets), a new club record (regular season or playoff). The previous record was 17,597 set on Jan. 2, 2009 against the Philadelphia Flyers.
