By admin | April 29, 2010
Detroit Red Wings battle it out against San Jose Sharks (9:00 pm ET, Versus) on Thursday at HP Pavilion, San Jose, California. It is the first game of the seven series and both the teams would want to prove a point in their first game.
Wings bagged a brilliant 6-1 victory against the Phoenix. The Wings need to repeat the same against the Sharks. Sharks have done pretty well against Colorado recently.
“They play a similar style to us,” Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg said. “We’ve been facing them a lot in the last few years in the playoffs. It’s usually a really good series. It’s well-played hockey and it’s exciting for the fans.”
For the Wings, Zetterberg is the key. He has scored 6 goals and 11 points in the seven games. Nicklas Lidstrom, Pavel Datsyuk, Brian Rafalski and Johan Franzen are some of the players Sharks have to watch out for.
Goaltender Evgeni Nabokov of San Jose has been impressive. He made the team win against the Colorado by allowing just a pair of goals. Joe Pavelski with five goals has been impressive for Sharks.
Sportsbooks and other NHL betting odds have set the line at San Jose -135 TOTAL: 5.5 WIN-LOSS-OTL Detroit Red Wings 48-27-14 San Jose Sharks 55-22-11.
