BOSTON -- The regular season wasnt much of a struggle for the Boston Bruins, and neither was their first-round playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings. Russell Bodine Jersey . Tuukka Rask made 31 saves Saturday, and the defending Eastern Conference champions eliminated the Red Wings with a 4-2 victory in Game 5. After finishing the regular season with the best record in the NHL, the Bruins advanced to the conference semifinals against the Montreal Canadiens. "That series was much tougher than maybe the results showed," said Bruins captain Zdeno Chara, who gave Boston the lead for good with 4 seconds left in the second period. "I think that we handled it well, we came into this series ready and we got the job done." Loui Eriksson opened the scoring for Boston, and Charas goal on a 4-on-3 advantage snapped a 1-1 tie. Milan Lucic also scored, and Jarome Iginla added an empty-netter. Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg scored and Jonas Gustavsson stopped 29 shots for Detroit. The Red Wings scored only six goals in the five-game series. "Were not there yet," said Red Wings coach Mike Babcock, whose team failed to win a playoff series in two of the past three seasons. "The last two years, we battled to get into the playoffs. To me, thats a measure of where we are. Instead of battling for the Cup, were battling to make the playoffs." It was 1-1 when the Bruins gained a 4-on-3 power play thanks to a holding penalty on Johan Franzen just 22 seconds before Brendan Smith was called for cross-checking. On a faceoff in the Detroit zone, Patrice Bergeron lured two of the three Red Wings defenders toward the corner and then passed it across the ice to Chara, who one-timed it past Gustavsson. Not usually demonstrative, Chara felt this one was worth celebrating. "It was a big game and a big goal," he said. "So Im not afraid to show it." Lucics goal with 4:27 gone in the third made it a two-goal game. Detroit made it 3-2 with 3:52 left after Rask made two acrobatic saves but left the puck to the side of the net for Zetterberg, the Red Wings captain who missed two months with back surgery and did not return until Game 4. Less than a minute later, though the Wings were called for too many men on the ice, leaving them a man down while trying to finish the comeback. With 2 minutes left in the game, the Boston fans began chanting "We want the cup!" Next up: Montreal, which swept Tampa Bay. "Guys were never ever really talking about Montreal," Iginla said. "We know theyve won their series and theyre going to be next, but the only talk today was about thinking about Detroit and getting this series over." The Bruins won it all in 2011 and returned to the Stanley Cup finals last year before they were eliminated when the Chicago Blackhawks scored two goals in 17 seconds in the final 76 seconds of Game 6. Boston seems on its way for another long playoff run this year, finishing the regular season with the best record in the NHL. "We were playing a very good team, a team with a lot of experience, the President Trophy winners," Detroit forward Daniel Alfredsson said. "This is a team that was just playing better than us and we feel a little short." The Bruins scored a power-play goal 3:27 into the first period when Dougie Hamiltons pass bounced off a defenders skate to Eriksson in the slot. Rask earned an assist on the play -- his second career playoff point. It stayed that way until Datsyuk came in and scooped up a rebound 12 seconds into a second-period power play against Lucic for high-sticking. Notes: It was the first NHL playoff game for Red Wings D Xavier Oullette. ... Rask earned an assist on Bostons first goal, his second career playoff point. ... Jimmy Howard, who started in goal for Games 1-3 for Detroit, was the backup. ... Referee Steve Kozari took a puck in the face in the third period. He left the ice through the Bruins bench but returned after a delay of about 2 minutes. ... The Bruins killed off 14 of 15 power plays in the series before allowing a goal after Lucics high-sticking penalty in the second. Josh Malone Jersey . Jeter doubled high off the left-field wall and scored on Jacoby Ellsburys first hit in pinstripes in the fifth. Hiroki Kuroda (1-1) pitched 6 1-3 sharp innings in the Yankees 112th opener in New York. In what manager Joe Girardi said would be a season-long lovefest for Jeter, the shortstop was cheered every step of the way by an adoring crowd of 48, 142 -- even when his double-play grounder back to Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez (0-2) scored Solarte in the third inning for the first run. Trey Hopkins Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. http://www.officialbengalsprofanatics.com/Black-Friday-Cedric-Peerman-Jersey/ . One out away from finishing off an impressive shutout, they let a must-win game slip away.WINNIPEG - Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne says it just feels good to be back and in shape after a difficult year last season.The veteran shut out the Winnipeg Jets 2-0 Friday night for his third victory in four games this season.It spoiled the Jets home opener in front of a sold out MTS Centre but for Rinne, sidelined with a hip injury for most of last season, the teams 3-0-1 start is particularly satisfying.It was a tough season last year, battling with the injury, it took forever to get back, he said.Im just having fun, enjoying hockey. I had a really good summer. Im back to where I need to be physically and just trying to enjoy it and stay healthy.Mike Ribeiro scored the only goal the visitors needed in the first period and James Neal added another at 7:31 of the third.We came in here with a good mindset, said Neal, like Ribeiro an addition to the Predators lineup after the club missed the playoffs last season.We knew the Jets would be fired up.Jets coach Paul Maurice said it was a disappointing way to open the season at home and despite the shots-on-goal edge for the Jets (31-27) he didnt think they had enough. The Jets and Predators came out tied for shots at even strength and on the power play but the Jets had four while short-handed.Part of it was it was a tight, tight game, there wasnt a lot of offence to be had, said Maurice.Weve got to put more of the basic stuff to the net so we can bang some ugly ones in.Ondrej Pavelec was also strong in the Winnipeg net and it took a little help for Nashville to score.Ribeiro tipped a shot from Seth Jones high past Pavelec at 16:19 to get things started then Neal added the insurance through traffic with a puck that appeared to glance off a couple of Jets.The Predators had four power plays and the Jets three, but neither scored. Both teams have struggled with their power play this season and its not a new issue for Winnipeg, which ranked 25th in the NHL last season.But new Nashville Centre Olli Jokinen, who played the lastt couple of seasons in Winnipeg, says both teams are getting chances. Kevin Huber Jersey. .I think we got a lot of good looks, he said. Its just a matter of time. The goals will come. Weve been working that a lot in practice.Both teams had good looks on the power play. Youve got to just stay the course. Its a long season and goals will come.The Jets (1-3-0) have now gone four games without scoring a power-play goal and the Predators are doing only slightly better with one.They did a good job keeping things to the outside but I still think we got a few chances and some good looks, said Jets captain Andrew Ladd.I think we have to have a sense of calm and confidence in here that we can fix a few things. We obviously know that we need to do some things better here and well move on tomorrow, work on them in practice and get better.This is the second game out of four the Jets have played that theyve been shut out. They lost 3-0 in San Jose Oct. 11.But centre Bryan Little says it isnt as though theyre not creating chances.Especially on the power play we had some great chances and their goalie came up and made big saves, said Little.We get a couple of goals next game and everyone gets that confidence back.Rinne showed why his absence from the Nashville net was so painful last season, frustrating the Jets best several times.Winnipeg put on lots of pressure but the veteran drafted by Nashville in 2004 seemed to anticipate every move.Rinne played only 24 games last season due to a hip injury as Nashville missed the playoffs for a second season a row and coach Barry Trotz was sacked.Winnipegs record for home openers fell to 1-3 with the loss.Notes: The Jets (not counting their Atlanta years) are now 2-3-1 in their meetings with the Predators. Nashvilles two seasons out of the playoffs were preceded by seven out of eight seasons in the playoffs, including two trips to the conference semis. The Jets have made just one appearance when they were known as the Atlanta Thrashers (2007).
