The 3-0 first period was too good to be true, so the Ducks blew it with two minutes left and Matt Beleskey came through right at the start of OT, giving the Ducks a chance to advance to their third Stanley Cup Final in franchise history on Wednesday.

First Period Recap:
The game started, just about as close to perfect as possible for the Ducks. The first great chance they had was started by Nate Thompson denying Bryan Bickell a wrap around in front of Frederik Andersen and Jiri Sekac carrying from the D zone hash marks to the O zone hash marks, out muscling Kyle Cumiskey, walking to the middle and feeding Francois Beauchemin, but Beauch's shot missed high and wide.
