Red Wings power past Sharks, 4-1

Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg each scored a goal and had two assists Saturday to lead the Detroit Red Wings past the San Jose Sharks, 4-1, at Detroit and within one victory of reaching the Western Conference finals.

The Red Wings outhit and outshot the Sharks in Game 5, but they also had some luck.

Datsyuk turned San Jose goalie Evgeni Nabokov’s misplay into the winning goal late in the second period, and Nabokov didn’t seem the same after that, surrendering two power-play goals in the third period.

With the Sharks in the Red Wings zone, Detroit cleared the puck into San Jose territory. Nabokov left the goal to play the puck, but sent it straight into a charging Datsyuk. He scooped it up and sent it into an open net with 3:47 to play in the second.

Ottawa 3, New Jersey 2 -- Jason Spezza scored the go-ahead goal and set up another by Daniel Alfredsson during a three-goal second period at East Rutherford, N.J., and the Senators won the Eastern Conference semifinal series in five games.
