Selanne’s points help Ducks tie series

Game 5 will be played Sunday afternoon in Detroit.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Teemu Selanne snapped out of his scoring slump with a goal and two assists Thursday night and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-3 to even their playoff series.

The Ducks tied the Western Conference finals 2-2, with the best-of-seven series shifting to Detroit for Game 5 on Sunday.

The Ducks built a 3-1 lead in the opening period, lost it in the second, then Ryan Getzlaf scored on a power play with 14:36 remaining to put them ahead to stay. Jean-Sebastien Giguere made that lead hold up, finishing with 36 saves.

Corey Perry, Ric Jackman and Selanne had first-period goals as the Ducks scored three times on their first eight shots against Dominik Hasek, who faced 22 shots.

Rob Niedermayer capped the scoring with an empty-net goal with 1:08 remaining.

Cleary scores twice

Daniel Cleary had two goals and an assist against the Ducks, who won despite the absence of defenseman Chris Pronger, serving a one-game suspension for a blow to the head of Tomas Holmstrom in Game 3. Pronger’s 12 points lead Anaheim in the postseason, and he’s a finalist for his second Norris Trophy.

Jackman helped fill in for Pronger and scored on his first shot of his initial appearance in a playoff game, making it 2-1 in the opening period.

Selanne’s goal was his first in five games and followed his assist on Jackman’s goal, Selanne’s first assist in four games.
