Lightning blank Red Wings
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 01 - 05 - 2015

TAMPA, Florida — Braydon Coburn broke a scoreless deadlock early in the third period and Ben Bishop made 31 saves to help the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Detroit Red Wings 2-0 Wednesday in Game 7 of the first-round series.

Ryan Callahan set up Coburn's third goal in 79 career postseason games with a pass through the slot to the top of the right circle, where the Tampa Bay defenseman sent a shot over goalie Petr Mrazek's right shoulder.
Anton Stralman added an empty-net goal with 1:18 remaining, ensuring the Lightning would win their first Game 7 at home since they beat Calgary in the 2004 Stanley Cup Final.

Tampa Bay, which came back from a 3-2 series deficit, advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals against Montreal. The Canadiens host Game 1 Friday night.

The Red Wings outshot the Lightning 31-17, but Bishop wasn't tested a lot in posting his first career playoff shutout. Coburn was obtained from Philadelphia in a trade March 2 and had one goal in 43 games for Tampa Bay during the regular season.

Tyler Johnson's third two-goal game of the series helped the Lightning even the series with a 5-2 victory in Detroit on Monday night. With Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall suspended for Game 7 for a hit o

But after winning the series opener, as well as shutting out the Lightning in Game 5, on the road, Detroit liked its chances of advancing, too.
The Red Wings outshot the Lightning 14-7 in the first period, but had few real scoring opportunities early against Bishop.

Canada seeks to end
medal drought at worlds

Led by Sidney Crosby, Canada will be looking to end their five-year medal drought at the ice hockey world championships as the 2015 edition starts in the Czech Republic Friday.

Played in Prague and the eastern city of Ostrava, the tournament is another opportunity for the 27-year-old Crosby to join the so-called Triple Gold Club of players who have won the Olympic gold, the Stanley Cup and the world gold.

Crosby won the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009 and has Olympic gold medals from Vancouver in 2010 and Sochi last year.
Canada's last medal from the world championships was a silver from 2009. It last won the tournament in 2007.

In the opening games Friday, May 1, Canada will face Latvia and the USA will take on Finland. Later Friday, the Czech Republic is due to play Sweden while Russia faces Norway.

The final is scheduled for May 17.— Agencies
