Entering Game 5, Anaheim Ducks defenseman Ben Lovejoy's last two assists came on what would be the eventual game-winning goals in 3-1 wins over the Detroit Red Wings in Game 1 and versus the Vancouver Canucks on April 25.
Lovejoy did it for a third time as he set up Nick Bonino's overtime winner to give the Ducks a 3-2 victory and go up 3-2 in the series:
Bonino's goal was his third of the playoffs, tying him with team captain Ryan Getzlaf, who evened the game at two late in the second period.
How good of an omen could knocking out the Red Wings be for Anaheim? The only two times the Ducks gotten by them in the playoffs they would go on to the Stanley Cup Final. Game 5 is Friday at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
