After Bonino brought the Ducks within one with his second goal of the playoffs, winger Smith-Pelly scored with 24 seconds remaining and an extra attacker on the ice to send the game to overtime. 

Bonino continued his great game by whipping a wrist shot past Kari Lehtonen with 2:47 left to send the Stars packing.

“It’s still hard to believe. I’ve got butterflies in my stomach,” Bonino said. “Scoring the winning goal in a playoff series is something you play in your driveway when you’re a kid.”

Anaheim advances to take on the winner of the Los Angeles/San Jose series.
