Wings blanks the Ducks.

The Detroit Red Wings played an exemplary game and easily defeated the Anaheim Ducks 5-0 yesterday evening and took a 2-1 series lead.

Tomas Holmstrom was dominant for the Wings as he scored 2 goals and added 1 assist during the game. Anaheim goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere was pulled out of the game after the 4th Wings goal.

Holmstrom's play was so dominant that Chris Pronger charged him into the boards while aiming at his head with an elbow. He could easily be suspended for one or two games for such an aggression.

The Ducks will host game 4 of the series and could be in a world of trouble should they lose this game.
