Red Wings First team to win Playoff Spot
Associated Press
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 03 - 2008

Pavel Datsyuk had two goals and an assist, and the Detroit Red Wings became the first team to secure a NHL playoff spot with a 5-3 victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday.
It was the fifth straight win for league-leading Detroit, which reached 100 points for a league-record tying eighth-straight season. Montreal had 100-point seasons from 1975-82. Johan Franzen had a goal and an assist for the Red Wings and Mikael Samuelsson and Valtteri Filppula also scored. Trevor Daley, Jere Lehtinen and Brenden Morrow scored Dallas' goals and Joel Lundqvist had two assists.
Devils 4, Wild 3, OT: At St. Paul, Minnesota, Jamie Langenbrunner scored the shootout winner and New Jersey moved back on top of the Eastern Conference standings with a victory over Minnesota.
Marian Gaborik scored his 35th goal for the Wild, who had a power play to start overtime.
New Jersey's Martin Brodeur has given up seven goals in two games, but was untouchable when it counted. Dainius Zubrus tied the game early in the third period at 3 after the Devils trailed 2-0 early.
Lightning 3, Bruins 1: At Boston, Mike Smith stopped 35 shots, and last-place Tampa Bay got goals from Jeff Halpern and Andreas Karlsson in a victory over slumping Boston.
Vincent Lecavalier made it 3-1 on an empty-net goal with 7.8 seconds left. Boston didn't score until Chuck Kobasew tipped Marco Sturm's slap shot from the point into the net to make it 2-1 with 12:03 left. The Bruins are seventh in the Eastern Conference but sliding fast with just one win in seven games.
Senators 3, Canadiens 0: At Montreal, Jason Spezza scored two goals to reach 30 for the second straight season and Martin Gerber stopped 28 shots for his second shutout, leading Ottawa over Montreal. Antoine Vermette also scored for Ottawa, which won its third in a row to draw even with Montreal on 87 points. The Senators took over the Northeast Division lead by virtue of their 40th win, one more than the Canadiens. Both teams have 10 games remaining.
Thrashers 6, Flames 4: At Atlanta, Bobby Holik scored on a pass from Ilya Kovalchuk in the closing minutes and Atlanta overcame a three-goal deficit in beating Calgary.
Kings 4, Predators 1: At Nashville, Tennessee, Alexander Frolov scored two goals to lift Los Angeles over Nashville.
Coyotes 2, Canucks 0: At Glendale, Arizona, Ilya Bryzgalov had 24 saves for his fifth career shutout and Phoenix beat Vancouver to revive its flickering playoff hopes.
Avalanche 5, Oilers 1: At Denver, Jaroslav Hlinka and Tyler Arnason each had a goal and an assist, helping Colorado past Edmonton and into sole possession of first place in the Northwest Division. __
