ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Anaheim Ducks and Detroit Red Wings are no longer in the same conference, but share enough institutional memory and bad feelings to give their games a little extra charge. The Ducks fed off the emotion of that throwback hockey, including three fights, to boost their position in the playoff chase. Corey Perry scored a tiebreaking goal late in the second period, John Gibson made 28 saves and the Ducks defeated the skidding Red Wings 4-2 on Friday night. We need to start playing a good game and having pride in playing,” Red Wings forward Anthony Mantha said. … The Red Wings are 1-29-5 when trailing after two periods.
