ANAHEIM, Calif. — Teemu Selanne scored in the first period, Scott Niedermayer added a goal in the second, and Jonas Hiller made 18 saves in the third for the Ducks, who held on for a 2-1 win over the Red Wings on Tuesday night and grabbed a 2-1 lead in Western Conference semifinal series.
Detroit nearly tied the game with 1:09 remaining when Marian Hossa dived to knock in a loose puck in front of Hiller, but referee Brad Watson lost sight of the puck and whistled the play dead.
