Wings have moved to within one
game of reaching the Stanley
Cup finals after a 5-2 win
over the Dallas Stars. Pavel
Datsyuk scored twice in the
first period then again with
2:41 left, as the Red Wings
took a 3-0 lead in the Western
Conference finals. This was
Detroit's ninth straight win,
its most ever in a single
postseason and the longest in
the NHL since Montreal won 11
in a row in 1993.
