Detroit Red Wings face elimination in Game 4 against San Jose Sharks
By admin | May 6, 2011
San Jose has taken another three games to none advantage against the Detroit Red Wings in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs. Just like last spring, the Sharks have jumped out to a commanding series lead on the strength of three one goal victories after last night’s overtime thriller in Detroit. With a series of fortunate bounces going San Jose’s way, the Sharks appear on the brink of eliminating the Red Wings for the second year in a row.
Free sports picks have the Red Wings as a -140 moneyline favorite, while the over/under total is at 5.5.
In what has been one of the closest contested matchups of the entire second round, the Detroit and San Jose series has been a treat for all hockey fans. Showcasing excellent goaltending by both teams as well as clutch goal scoring, Detroit and San Jose have played some excellent playoff hockey.
If the Red Wings are hoping to come back and make this a series they will need to take it one game at a time. Game four is scheduled for Friday night at Joe Louis Arena, and San Jose can expect Detroit’s best effort to date.
Last year when the two teams were in the exact same scenario, Detroit beat San Jose in game four by a score of 7-1 only to fall short in game five and lose the series. Fans should expected another hard hitting, low scoring affair in game four of this series as Detroit tries to extend it one more game and take the series back to San Jose.
