Center Damien Brunner scored the game-winning goal during the first overtime period, cashing in on a rebound against Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller. While that's great news for Wings fans, the real highlight was a young woman in attendance who decided to express self-love during a break in the action.

Jimmy Howard worked some OT last night too stopping an incredible 44 of 46 shots. A fluky ricochet that slammed into the back of the Detroit net 7 minutes into overtime ended up ruining an otherwise great performance from Howard. Too bad the rest of the Wings couldn't OWN the puck more throughout the night. I spilled my beer twice popping up off the couch to scream at the lackluster offense.
