Detroit downs San Jose after Draper re-signing

Hockey Betting Lines

10/26/2007 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Valtteri Filppula and Tomas Holmstrom each had a goal and an assist as Detroit beat San Jose 5-1 at Joe Louis Arena.

Andreas Lilja, Henrik Zetterberg and Kirk Maltby also scored for the Red Wings, who outshot the Sharks 39-11 to run their winning streak to four straight games.

Zetterberg and Maltby scored just 22 seconds apart in the third period to open things up for Detroit, which improved to 26-3-1 in its last 30 games at home against the Sharks. The goal for Zetterberg was his eighth of the season and increased his point-scoring streak to 11 games to start the season.

Detroit was playing its first game without injured goaltender Dominik Hasek, who is out indefinitely with a sore hip. Chris Osgood made the start between the pipes and came just 5:52 from his first shutout of the season, turning away 10 shots and recording an assist in the win.

Alexei Semenov scored the lone goal for the Sharks, who had a two-game win streak halted. Evgeni Nabokov made 26 saves before being pulled after Detroit's fourth goal, as San Jose failed to avenge a 4-2 setback to Detroit last Thursday.

Filppula gave the Red Wings the lead just 1:23 into action, skating in on Nabokov and beating him glove side with a backhander.

Just over 14 minutes later, Lilja extended the Detroit lead, taking a pass from Filppula and from between the circles wristing a shot past the glove side of Nabokov.

In the third period, Holmstrom made it a three-goal game with a tally just 39 seconds into action. The flood gates then opened a little less than midway through the period, as Zetterberg and Maltby started their scoring spree 8:12 into the stanza for a five-goal cushion.

Zetterberg's tally came against Nabokov and Maltby's was one of the first shots on Dimitri Patzold.

Zetterberg appeared to score a few minutes later, but Holmstrom was called for interference, leading to a Sharks power play and a goal for Semenov with 5:52 left.

Patzold stopped eight of the nine shots he faced.

Pacific-10 Conference odds

Teams that should be in: Stanford

Oregon and USC get their tickets punched after taking care of business this weekend. Yes, the Trojans' computer numbers aren't great, but there's no way the third-place team in this league is getting nixed. Grudgingly, I added Arizona after consultation with our Bracketologist. I don't know that Arizona will lose its last three (including a Pac-10 quarterfinal game), and even if the Cats do, I still can't see how they'd be left out, given the overall profile. That said, it bears watching, as three more L's would leave them at 18-12 (9-9) and on a 6-11 skid entering the Dance. It would be nice to see the Wildcats get at least one W in the Bay Area next week, as Cincinnati (albeit without Armein Kirkland and with a worse profile) was axed after a similar slide last season. I just couldn't rationalize having some of the other teams as locks and not having Arizona in that category -- there just aren't enough good teams behind the Cats to threaten their spot, it seems. Stanford has its fate in its own hands with the Arizona schools coming to the Farm to close out the regular season next weekend.

Should be in:

Stanford [17-10 (9-7), RPI: 40, SOS: 21] No shame in not getting a win in L.A., but that makes the home game against Arizona State a must-win ahead of what could be an intriguing meeting with Arizona should the Cats lose at Cal. Getting to 11 Pac-10 wins would make Selection Sunday much more comfortable, but 10's probably more than enough this season. The Cardinal have nonconference wins over Texas Tech and at Virginia to lean on, although they also lost badly to Air Force and Santa Clara at home.

Southeastern Conference odds
Work left to do: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Mississippi State

It looks more and more possible that no one from the SEC West will make the NCAAs. How weird is that? Tennessee and Vandy move into the locks category after more good work this weekend. Kentucky stays there, although it would be smart for the Cats to handle Georgia at home Wednesday ahead of a trip to the Swamp. Could a disaster scenario (two more L's and a first-round SEC tourney exit) somehow dislodge the Cats despite their incredible computer numbers? Still unlikely, but not worth chancing it.

Work left to do:

Alabama [19-9 (6-8), RPI: 43, SOS: 47] The tough L at Tennessee was understandable, and even created some hope. Unfortunately, that hope was dashed by a home loss to Auburn, which leaves the Tide in some real trouble. There's still no signature win on the profile (no, Kentucky doesn't count), and the computer profile is weakening rapidly. The Tide conceivably could beat Ole Miss and win at Miss. State to get to 8-8 and clinch at least a share of the West crown, but that's probably not enough right now. The Tide will need to do some work in the SEC tourney.

Georgia [16-10 (8-6), RPI: 52, SOS: 23] This is the team with the best chance to make it from this section right now. The Bulldogs rebounded from a terrible performance at Ole Miss to beat down Miss. State. Now they are at Kentucky (king of the RPI 51-100 win) and home to Tennessee. That would be worth a lot of computer points to get both (which is doable), as both teams are in the top 11 in RPI. Finishing at least 9-7 is an absolute must, and I would feel much better about the Dawgs' chances if they got both to get to 10 SEC wins. They also beat Gonzaga, but lost to ACC bubblers Georgia Tech and Clemson.

Mississippi [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 63, SOS: 79] Like everyone else in this division, Ole Miss gacked up a chance to stake a claim, losing by double figures at South Carolina. Even 9-7 likely is not nearly enough with a nonconference profile devoid of anything notable.

Mississippi State [16-11 (7-7), RPI: 66, SOS: 37] With a chance to get in the mix, these Bulldogs were leashed by their Georgia counterparts. Could they get to 9-7? I guess -- although winning at Arkansas, then beating Alabama is no lock -- but would that mean all that much for a team with this overall profile? Probably not. There's nothing of note (on the good side) in the nonconference profile.
