Redwings 5 Wild 3

The Detroit Red Wings are now 1 point away from clinching the Western Conferenece's top playoff-seed after recording a 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild Monday night. With 105 points, the Redwings lead the San Jose Sharks by five points with three games to go. The win also lifted Detroit to No.1 in the overall NHL standings. Datsyuk scored his 30th goal of the season. He now has a goal in 5 straight games. McCarty scored a perfectly placed goal over the shoulder of the Wild's goalie. This was his first goal in 9 games.Fischer, Brendan Shanahan, and Boyd Deveraux scored the other Wings' goals. I don't think the President's Trophy matters as much as everyone thinks. If the Wings get home ice that is great,if they don't to bad. They need to worry about getting all their injured players back on the ice before the playoffs start.
