The Ducks certainly would like to forget about the last two games of the series as the defending champion Red Wings outscored Anaheim 10-4 and built a 78-45 shot advantage.

Detroit can now advance to the conference finals for the third consecutive season with one more win. The powerhouse Red Wings have been able to close out eight consecutive playoff series on the road.

Don't count out Anaheim just yet. They fought back from a 3-2 series deficit to take a Game 7 win over Calgary in 2006.

One of the most pressing challenges for the Ducks will be shutting down Johan Franzen, who has become a prolific goal scorer in the postseason.

Franzen leads the Red Wings with seven playoff goals, including three in the last two games. Get all your NHL playoffs odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
