Detroit Motor Into Series Lead
Nobody predicted this. Not even me, and I'm biased.
Last night Detroit welcomed the Chicago Blackhawks to the Joe Louis hoping to build on Saturday's series tying victory.
A tense first period saw plenty of penalties but no goals.
It wasn't until seven minutes into the second period that Gustav Nyquist demonstrated perfect control to skate round Corey Crawford's goal and slot home past diving defensemen and a helpless goalie to get his second goal of the playoffs.
Less than a minute later, Drew Miller, who also had solid game was on hand to tip the puck into the net after a goalmouth scramble. 2-0 Detroit.
Patrick Kane made a good breakaway to reduce the deficit to one goal five minutes into the third period but two minutes later Pavel Datsyuk was on hand to fire a screamer of a shot into the top shelf. No chance of Crawford saving that shot. Goal of the playoffs contender? Maybe.
