May 21 (Reuters - Anaheim handed Chicago their first home loss of the NHL playoffs on Thursday after a 2-1 win in Game Three put the Ducks ahead by the same margin in the Western Conference final series.
Simon Despres broke a 1-1 tie in the final minute of the second period as Anaheim bounced back from a triple-overtime defeat in Game Two that tied the best-of-seven series.
On Thursday, Patrick Maroon gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead in the first before Chicago's Patrick Kane tied it with under a minute left in the opening period.
