Stanley Cup Playoffs: Wings Level Series With Blackhawks; Sharks Climb Back In Series With Kings After OT Win

The Stanley Cup Playoffs continued with two games on Saturday, both in the Western Conference.

At Chicago:

Goals from Damien Brunner and Brendan Smith in the second period, Johan Franzen and Valtteri Filppula in the third, and 19 saves in 20 shots from Jimmy Howard carried the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-1 road win over the Chicago Blackhawks.  The Wings leveled their conference semifinal series at one game apiece and seized home-ice advantage for the series.

At San Jose, California:

A power-play goal from Logan Couture 89 seconds into overtime lifted the San Jose Sharks to a 2-1 win over the visiting Los Angeles Kings in game three of their conference semifinal series as the Sharks now trail the series two games to one.  San Jose's other goal, 94 seconds in the first period, was also on the power play, in this case, thanks to Dan Boyle.
