A costly late turnover by the Captain is the difference with Anaheim unable to finish their chances.
When the margin for error is small, every mistake is magnified.
Unfortunately for the Anaheim Ducks, a brief slack moment in the third period was enough to knock them off the tightrope.
Riley Sheahan's late goal after forcing a turnover by Ryan Getzlaf in the defensive zone proved the difference as the Ducks lost 2-1 to the Detroit Red Wings Sunday night at Honda Center.
Anaheim (17-17-7, 4th Pacific) was able to overcome a bit of early bad luck on the opening goal of the game, and a strong early push from the Red Wings (22-13-7, 2nd Atlantic) to level the scoreline.
