Detroit Pulls Even

The Detroit Red Wings have tied up there first round series against the Nashville Predators. Mike Comrie led the attack as he factored in on both Wings goals. The series so far has been a very physical affair. In todays tilt the Wings threw there weight around and rattled off a season high 36 body checks. In the spirited affair Preds d-man Eric Cairns caught Simon Gagne behind the net with his elbow. Todd Bertuzzi wondering how in the world Eric Cairns who had been suspended for three games on Thursday managed to sneak his way back into the Preds roster, waisted little time in coming to Gagne's aid. (Game Notes - Todd Bertuzzi beats up Eric Cairns)

Mike Dunham was again sharp in net as he turned aside 16 of 17 shots and was named the game's third star. The lone goal to beat him was a nice tic tack toe play that seen former Wing Alexi Yashin one time a nice feed from Zdeno Chara. Chara, another surprise starter for the Preds who was believed to be injured put in a nice performance logging 21 minutes of ice time.

Next game in the series will shift to Detroit where the Wings had the second best home record in the conference this season.
