Red Wings down 2-1 after shutout by Ducks, 4-0....YOUTUBE UNDER: CURRICH5

Detroit had only 23 shots on net as the Anaheim Ducks shutout the Red Wings, 4-0, in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinal series to take a 2-1 lead.

Detroit tied the series at one despite blowing a three-goal lead in the 3rd period of Game 2. Gustav Nyquist's overtime goal won that game, but Detroit lost defenseman Danny DeKeyser to a broken right thumb during the 5-4 victory.

The teams were a combined 7-of-19 on the power play heading into Game 3, but neither could take advantage in the 1st period. Detroit had a two-man advantage for 40 seconds, and Anaheim had one later in the period for 37 seconds.

Ryan Getzlaf, Emerson Etem and Matt Beleskey added goals in the third for Anaheim. Jonas Hiller made 23 saves for the Ducks while Detroit's Jimmy Howard made 25 saves. The team scoring first has won every game in this series so far.

The Wings will look to even the series again this Monday night at the Joe Louis Arena for Game 4.
