Los Angeles, CA- Gustav Nyquist the 2nd yr player who finished 3rd in scoring on the team scored the overtime game winner with a wicked backhand shot that beat Quick high to his glove side.

Detroit had a 2-0 lead after the 1st period. But LA stormed back to tie the game at 2 by the end of the 2nd period. Both team traded chances in the 3rd but the goalies stood tall in net for both teams.

In overtime Franzen skated into the zone sent a pass to Datsyuk who one-timed a pass over to Nyquist. Nyquist got Quick to commit earlier and roofed a backhand shot to win the game.
