Red Wings On Brink Of Elimination In Stanley Cup Playoffs

The Detroit Red Wings are on the brink of being eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Last night's overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks left them down 3-2 in the best of seven series. Detroit must win on Friday night to force a game seven.Nick Bonino scored the winning goal for the Ducks at 1:54 into overtime last night. The Red Wings got goals from Johan Franzen and Mikael Samuelsson, but fell short of grabbing the series lead. The Wings did hit the goalpost with three shots, but couldn't get the winning shot to go in.

If the Wings can win Friday night they would force a game seven on Sunday in Anaheim.
