Red Wings force Game 7 with overtime win

Associated Press

Henrik Zetterberg scored his second goal 1:04 into overtime, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 6 on Friday night to extend their first-round NHL playoff series.

Detroit blew a two-goal lead in the last 31/2 minutes of the third period, sending the team to a fourth OT in a series for the first time in franchise history.

Emerson Etem and Bobby Ryan scored 51 seconds apart late in regulation to pull the Ducks into a 3-3 tie.

Second-seeded Anaheim will host seventh-seeded Detroit on Sunday night in the deciding game.

Capitals 2, Rangers 1: Mike Ribeiro scored 9:24 into overtime, and the Capitals beat the New York Rangers at Washington to regain the momentum – and the lead – in their first-round playoff series.

Ribeiro put in the puck after Troy Brouwer deflected a shot from the blue line.

The Capitals lead the series 3-2. Game 6 is Sunday in New York. The home team has won every game in the series.

Maple Leafs 2, Bruins 1: Tyler Bozak and Clarke MacArthur scored and James Reimer stopped 43 shots to help the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Bruins at Boston and stay alive in their first-round playoff series.

Game 6 is Sunday in Toronto, with the decisive seventh game back in Boston on Monday, if necessary.

Boston has won both games in Toronto in the series and has not lost on the Leafs’ home ice in the playoffs since 1959.

Kings 2, Blues 1: Dustin Penner scored the tiebreaking goal in the final second of the second period, and the Kings advanced to the second round with a victory over the St. Louis Blues at Los Angeles in Game 6.

Jonathan Quick made 21 saves and Drew Doughty scored his first goal of the postseason for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who won four straight to finish off fourth-seeded St. Louis.

Penner put the Kings ahead with a slap shot from just inside the blue line past Brian Elliott right before time expired.
