Ducks use late third-period rally to defeat Red Wings

Detroit — Well, you knew they weren't going to win them all.

For all the excitement surrounding the Red Wings after two season-opening victories, the first defeat was quite sudden.

Anaheim scored three goals in 5 minutes, 5 seconds to erase a Wings' lead and go on to a 3-1 victory.

Filip Hronek scored with 5 seconds left in the second period, giving the Wings a 1-0 lead.

But this time, the Wings weren't able to close out a game like they did over the weekend.

Rikard Rakell (at 4:52), Nick Ritchie (9:10) and Jakob Silfverberg (9:57) all scored their first goals of the season, and quickly changed the complexion of the game.
