Frederik Andersen stopped 27 shots and Simon Despres potted the deciding goal late in the second period, and the Anaheim Ducks claimed a 2-1 decision over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 3 of this Western Conference final.

Patrick Maroon netted the other goal and Ryan Getzlaf added assists on both scores for the Ducks, who assumed a 2-1 edge in this best-of-seven set.

Patrick Kane produced the sole offense for the Blackhawks, while Corey Crawford made 25 stops in the setback, the first suffered at home by his club in this postseason.

Game 4 is set for Saturday at United Center.
