Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bertuzzi netted the shootout winner and
Jimmy Howard recorded 22 saves for his third shutout of the season, as Detroit
picked up a key two points for playoff positioning with a 1-0 win to close out
a home-and-home series with Columbus at Nationwide Arena.
As the game moved to a shootout after 65 scoreless minutes, suddenly nobody
could miss. Rick Nash deked his way to a nifty backhand tally to start things
off, and Pavel Datsyuk answered with a forehand score over the right shoulder
of Steve Mason.
The goaltenders settled back in to stop the next five attempts, moving into
the fourth round, and Bertuzzi flipped a backhander upstairs to grab the win.
The Red Wings moved two points clear of both Nashville and Los Angeles for
sole possession of the Western Conference's fifth seed. The trio had been tied
with 98 points entering play Friday.
Detroit will close out its regular season Sunday in Chicago and Nashville will
do the same a day earlier at home versus the Blues. The Kings have two games
remaining against Edmonton and Colorado.
Mason came up with a whopping 45 saves through 65 minutes of action to post
his fifth shutout of the season for Columbus, which wrapped up a disappointing
season at 32-35-15 and lost five in a row going away.
Mason withstood a 19-shot Red Wing barrage in the third period, and denied
Darren Helm on a penalty shot. Each team had a chance with the extra skater in
overtime but came up empty.
Howard was tested with just four shots in the third period and zero in OT,
while Mason was busy over the first 40 minutes with 22 saves.
