DETROIT — Johan Franzen scored 1:48 into overtime, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 2-1 win over the Nashville Predators tonight and a 3-2 lead in their first round series.

Valtteri Filppula, who scored Detroit's first goal, poked the puck away from defender and Franzen ended up with it and beat Dan Ellis with a backhander.

The NHL's best team this season was less than a minute from winning in regulation, but Nashville's Radek Bonk slipped through the defense to get off a one-timer that got past Chris Osgood.

Osgood was a stop away from turning away all 20 he faced in regulation and validating Detroit coach Mike Babcock's decision to start him over Dominik Hasek. Game 6 in the best-of-seven series is Sunday in Nashville.
