DETROIT — Anaheim earned a return trip to the Motor city.

Todd Marchant scored 1:15 into a third overtime, lifting the Ducks to a 4-3 series-evening win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.

Jonas Hiller made a career-high 59 saves and Ryan Getzlaf, Chris Pronger and Ryan Carter scored for the Ducks in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinal.

Anaheim will host Game 3 on Tuesday night and after another home game it will be back in Detroit for Game 5.

Chris Osgood stopped 42 shots, Brad Stuart, Mikael Samuelsson and Johan Franzen scored for the defending Stanley Cup champion Red Wings, who lost for the first time this postseason.

In the series opener, Detroit's Nicklas Lidstrom scored with 49 seconds left to avoid overtime.
