Nick Bonino tapped in Ben Lovejoy's pass less than two minutes into overtime as Anaheim defeated the Detroit Red Wings, 3-2, on Wednesday night in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinal series at Honda Center.

Anaheim is bringing a 3-2 series lead to Detroit. The Ducks can advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a win in Game 6 on Friday. It was the third overtime game of the series and the first claimed by the Ducks.

 

"We've beat them in their building. We want to do it again," Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin said. "I think having lost the first two games that we went into overtime, we wanted to win that one just to give us a little bit of confidence. We knew we could beat them. Just to do it here tonight here in Game 5 was big."

After a Game 4 overtime loss, Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said there were some passengers, hockey parlance for not getting the best out of all 20 players. The Ducks didn't play a complete game, but they got a tremendous performance from captain Ryan Getzlaf, who scored the game-tying goal in a big swing in the second period.

"He's a great leader, and when he's going, he's a tough man to stop," Boudreau said. "I thought he brought it tonight. Guys followed him. That's what captains do."
