The Detroit Red Wings evened their series with the Chicago Blackhawks and the San Jose Sharks got back into their series with an OT win over the Los Angeles Kings. Scott Cullen has stas and notes from Saturday nights NHL playoff action. WINGS EVEN UP WITH BLACKHAWKSThe Detroit Red Wings stormed back in Game Two of their series with the Chicago Blackhawks, winning 4-1, to earn a split of the first two games in Chicago. Detroit outshot Chicago 30-20, which was a rare occurrence this year. Chicago was held to 20 or fewer shots once all season (19 shots on goal in a 3-2 shootout win at Calgary, February 2) and was outshot by 10 on home ice, once this year (25-36 vs. Los Angeles, March 25). Any loss at home for this Blackhawks team stands out as rare, as they had three regulation losses at home all season. Red Wings LW Henrik Zetterberg was the initiator for the Detroit attack, assisting on Detroits second and fourth goals and tying for the team lead with four shots on goal. Red Wings RW Justin Abdelkader also had four shots on goal, had a team-high five hits and had the best possession numbers for Detroit in Game Two. (Strangely enough, Zetterbergs possession numbers were worst for the Wings.) The line of Abdelakader, Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen controlled play despite facing the defence tandem of Duncan Keith and Niklas Hjalmarsson. At no point should the Blackhawks have expected that this series was going to be easy and, after losing decisively on home ice, that seems assured. A couple of additional Blackhawks centre notes: C Jonathan Toews was held off the scoresheet again and he has no goals and three assists in seven playoff games and C Dave Bolland, in his second game of the postseason, was minus-2 with six penalty minutes, giving him 10 penalty minutes in two games. SHARKS GET ON THE BOARD WITH OT WINSharks C Logan Couture, who missed time earlier in the game with an apparent ankle injury, scored on the power play in overtime to give the San Jose Sharks a 2-1 Game Three win over the Los Angeles Kings, cutting the Kings series lead to 2-1. L.A. rookie RW Tylor Toffoli scored the Kings only goal, the second straight game in which hes recorded a point and the second straight game in which hes played more than 12 minutes. Given how effective Toffoli has been, he could handle more responsibility. LW Tanner Pearson made his NHL debut for the Kings, playing a modest 5:44. Pearson had 47 points and a plus-17 rating in 64 games for Manchester of the AHL this season. Sharks C Joe Thornton had one of the assists on the game-winning goal but, along with linemates Brent Burns and T.J. Galiardi, had an outstanding game when it came to puck possession, primarily getting the best of Mike Richards, Jeff Carter and Dwight King for Los Angeles. San Jose got RW Martin Havlat back from injury, after he missed the previous five games, only to lose him again after he played 4:52. It was good while it lasted. Neither team is likely too enamoured with the officiating in this series, from the Sharks outlining their disagreement Raffi Torres suspension, to the Sharks getting burned for two late power play goals in Game Two, to the Sharks getting a 5-on-3 to start overtime in Game Three, scoring shortly after the first penalty had expired. In the end, it wont much matter what the teams feel about the officiating. The Kings are leaning heavily on G Jonathan Quick and hes been great, stopping 101 of 106 shots (.953 SV%) through three games, but after San Jose outshot Los Angeles 40-27, giving the Sharks an average 9.0 shot advantage through the first three games, the Kings have to take more territorial control if they are going to close out the Sharks. Either that, or keep letting Quick stand on his head. Scott Cullen can be reached at Scott.Cullen@bellmedia.ca and followed on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tsnscottcullen.

Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. Herman Edwards Jersey . Its the second straight game Bell has scored in extra time for Kelowna, which beat the Brandon Wheat Kings 6-5 on Friday, and he now has four game-winning goals on the season. http://www.theeaglesshoponline.com/Youth-Harold-Carmichael-Eagles-Jersey/ . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming. Tommy McDonald Womens Jersey . The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. Herman Edwards Womens Jersey . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. Melbourne captain Cameron Smith has kicked the Storm to the top of the NRL ladder after a dramatic 15-14 golden-point victory over South Sydney.The Rabbitohs went within 60 seconds of recording their first-ever win at AAMI Park on Saturday night before hooker Damien Cook was penalised for a dangerous tackle on Storm fullback Cameron Munster, allowing Smith to nail a 40m penalty goal to level the scores at 14-all as time expired.Opposing halfbacks Cooper Cronk and Adam Reynolds each missed a field goal during golden-point time before the ever-reliable Smith drilled the match-winner to send the Storm above Cronulla on the table, following the Sharks 30-14 defeat to Canberra earlier in the day.The opening half was evenly matched, with the referees awarding a high number of penalties, including an on-field obstruction ruling on a potential Storm try in the 23rd minute.Souths centre Aaron Gray also had his four-pointer cancelled over a double movement.The visitors eventually opened the scoring five minutes before the main break, with Reynolds lobbing a kick into the path of Alex Johnston to touch down out wide.Reynolds nailed the conversion from the sideline for a 6-0 lead, then Greg Inglis almost doubled the advantage two minutes later, with his angled run cutting through the Storm defence before the video review ruled obstruction.Melbourne responded immediately after halftime, with Marika Koroibete diving over in the corner to level the scores.The Storm appeared to click into gear, finally able to break through the Rabbitohs defensive line.With Jesse Bromwich eating up metres through the middle, the ball went wide for Cheyse Blair to put the home side ahead 10-6.But the Rabbitohs struck back after a Sam Burgess offload released Greg Inglis deep into Stoorm territory.ddddddddddddFrom the next set of six, Reynolds went to the air again for Angus Crichton to score his first NRL try and give his side a 12-10 advantage.A Smith penalty goal levelled the scores at 12-all but a penalty against Christian Welch for a crusher tackle allowed Reynolds to regain the lead with 10 minutes remaining.However, the Rabbitohs could not hold on and despite a much improved performance, slumped to their ninth straight defeat.Storm coach Craig Bellamy praised his skipper for the late-game heroics.We got that penalty there and Smithy stepped up, said Bellamy.That was a great kick under pressure. And to kick that field goal as well, added Bellamy. Thats why he is a special player.?We were very lucky tonight and it was a couple of big plays from Cam that got us home.While feeling his side were off the pace, particularly in the opening half, Bellamy was full of praise for the Rabbitohs.They had a tough week last week and we knew there would be some sort of bounce-back effect from that.I thought they defended really well tonight. It probably disappoints me to say it but I think they out-defended us tonight.Despite the loss, Souths coach Michael Maguire was proud of his teams efforts, particularly in defence.The Storm threw plenty at us, said Maguire.Our boys really dug deep many times to repel them and put ourselves in a great opportunity at the back end but it just wasnt to be.We have been working hard to achieve that type of performance for the past couple of months, added Maguire.We will get a lot out of that game. I think the boys really found what the South Sydney rugby league team is all about. ' ' '
