    DETROIT (Ticker) -- Once again, the San Jose Sharks had noanswers for the Detroit Red Wings.


    Tomas Holmstrom and Valtteri Filppula each had a goal and anassist and Detroit limited San Jose to just 11 shots as the RedWings rolled to a 5-1 triumph over the Sharks on Friday.

    Defenseman Andreas Lilja, Henrik Zetterberg and Kirk Maltby alsoscored for Detroit, which improved to 26-3-1 all-time at homeagainst San Jose.


    Facing a two-games-to-one deficit in the Western Conferencesemifinals last spring, the Red Wings yielded just three goalsin reeling off three straight victories against the Sharks toadvance. Detroit picked up where it left off this season,posting a 4-2 win at San Jose on October 18 on third-periodtallies by rookie Matt Ellis and Pavel Datsyuk.


    In this one, the Red Wings were in control from the start asFilppula set the tone just 83 seconds into the first period withhis first goal of the season. Mikael Samuelsson carried downthe right wing and fed Filppula, who skated in from the slot andswitched to his backhand before lifting the puck pastgoaltender Evgeni Nabokov.


    Lilja doubled the lead with 4:29 remaining in the session,beating Nabokov high to the glove side with a wrist shot fromthe top of the slot. It was the blue-liner's firstregular-season tally since April 17, 2006, a span of 69 games.

    After a scoreless middle period, the Red Wings broke open thegame in the third. Holmstrom made it 3-0 just 39 seconds intothe session, firing the puck into a vacant net from the rightfaceoff circle after captain Nicklas Lidstrom's shot from thehigh slot was blocked.


    The tally was the third in two games for Holmstrom.

    Zetterberg increased the advantage to four at 8:12 with hiseighth goal and league-leading 19th point of the season. Thetally extended the Swede's points streak to a career-high 11games.


    Just 22 seconds later, Maltby grabbed a rebound in front andflipped it past netminder Dimitri Patzold, who had replacedNabokov after Zetterberg's goal.


    The only thing not clicking for Detroit was its power play. TheRed Wings, who have won four in a row overall and improved to5-1-0 at home, went 0-for-6 with the man advantage.

    Chris Osgood, who needed to make just three saves in each of thefirst two periods, had his shutout bid ended with 5:52 left inthe third as defenseman Alexei Semenov beat him with a slap shotfrom the blue line during a power play. Osgood, who alsopicked up an assist on Filppula's tally, finished with 10 saves.

    Nabokov made 26 saves and Patzold stopped eight shots for theSharks, who fell to 4-2-1 on the road this season.

    Tomas Holmstrom and Valtteri Filppula each had a goal and anassist and Detroit limited San Jose to just 11 shots as the RedWings rolled to a 5-1 triumph over the Sharks on Friday.

    Defenseman Andreas Lilja, Henrik Zetterberg and Kirk Maltby alsoscored for Detroit, which improved to 26-3-1 all-time at homeagainst San Jose.


    Facing a two-games-to-one deficit in the Western Conferencesemifinals last spring, the Red Wings yielded just three goalsin reeling off three straight victories against the Sharks toadvance. Detroit picked up where it left off this season,posting a 4-2 win at San Jose on October 18 on third-periodtallies by rookie Matt Ellis and Pavel Datsyuk.


    San Jose's Joe Thornton could not explain the past but knewexactly what was wrong Friday.


    "They played really well and we played really bad," he said."That's not a good combination for us. They're a good team.They move the puck well and have some players who can scoregoals."


    In this one, the Red Wings were in control from the start asFilppula set the tone just 83 seconds into the first period withhis first goal of the season. Mikael Samuelsson carried downthe right wing and fed Filppula, who skated in from the slot andswitched to his backhand before lifting the puck pastgoaltender Evgeni Nabokov.


    "I was relieved," Filppula said of his first goal since March24. "I've had some good scoring chances earlier, but the puckjust didn't go in the net. It felt good to score. It probablyrelaxed me a little to get that first one."


    The 23-year-old Finn believed it behooved Detroit to score theinitial tally.


    "It's important, against a good team, to get off to a goodstart," he said. "We had good chances all night and we set somegood screens in front of the net."


    Lilja doubled the lead with 4:29 remaining in the session,beating Nabokov high to the glove side with a wrist shot fromthe top of the slot. It was the blue-liner's firstregular-season tally since April 17, 2006, a span of 69 games.

    "I'm happy to finally get that devil off my back," Lilja said.

    The Swede admitted he is attempting to jump into the play moreoften this season.


    "It's part of our game plan," he said. "We keep one forwardback, so then if the opportunity comes, one of the D can jumpup."


    After a scoreless middle period, the Red Wings broke open thegame in the third. Holmstrom made it 3-0 just 39 seconds intothe session, firing the puck into a vacant net from the rightfaceoff circle after captain Nicklas Lidstrom's shot from thehigh slot was blocked.

    Just 22 seconds later, Maltby grabbed a rebound in front andflipped it past netminder Dimitri Patzold, who had replacedNabokov after Zetterberg's goal.


    The only thing not clicking for Detroit was its power play. TheRed Wings, who have won four in a row overall and improved to5-1-0 at home, went 0-for-6 with the man advantage.

    Chris Osgood, who needed to make just three saves in each of thefirst two periods, had his shutout bid ended with 5:52 left inthe third as defenseman Alexei Semenov beat him with a slap shotfrom the blue line during a power play.


    Osgood, who also picked up an assist on Filppula's tally whileimproving to 4-0-0, finished with 10 saves.


    "We had the momentum early, and when they took it away for awhile, Ozzie made some big saves until we got the momentumback," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said.


    "I have to wake up the shot-clock guy," Osgood joked. "He'sripping me off like four or five a game. I take pride and theyjudge me on this kind of stuff. I have to talk to him."

    It marked the second consecutive game and third overall thiscampaign Detroit has held its opponent to fewer than 20 shots.

    "As long as you keep them to the outside, there won't be as manyshots on goal," Lilja said. "If you're allowing only 15 or 16shots a game, the goalie can stop those."


    Nabokov made 26 saves and Patzold stopped eight shots for theSharks, who fell to 4-2-1 on the road this season.

    After a scoreless middle period, the Red Wings broke open thegame in the third. Zetterberg made it 3-0 just 39 seconds intothe session, tipping Holmstrom's shot from the right faceoffcircle after captain Nicklas Lidstrom's blast from the high slotwas blocked.


    With the goal, which originally was credited to Holmstrom,Zetterberg extended his points streak to a career-high 11 games.

    Zetterberg increased the advantage to four at 8:12 with hiseighth goal and league-leading 19th point of the season. Thetally was the Swede's eighth in as many contests.


    Just 22 seconds later, Maltby grabbed a rebound in front andflipped it past netminder Dimitri Patzold, who had replacedNabokov after Zetterberg's goal.


    The only thing not clicking for Detroit was its power play. TheRed Wings, who have won four in a row overall and improved to5-1-0 at home, went 0-for-6 with the man advantage.

    Chris Osgood, who needed to make just three saves in each of thefirst two periods, had his shutout bid ended with 5:52 left inthe third as defenseman Alexei Semenov beat him with a slap shotfrom the blue line during a power play.


    Osgood, who also picked up an assist on Filppula's tally whileimproving to 4-0-0, finished with 10 saves.


    "We had the momentum early, and when they took it away for awhile, Ozzie made some big saves until we got the momentumback," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said.


    "I have to wake up the shot-clock guy," Osgood joked. "He'sripping me off like four or five a game. I take pride and theyjudge me on this kind of stuff. I have to talk to him."

    It marked the second consecutive game and third overall thiscampaign Detroit has held its opponent to fewer than 20 shots.

    "As long as you keep them to the outside, there won't be as manyshots on goal," Lilja said. "If you're allowing only 15 or 16shots a game, the goalie can stop those."


    Nabokov made 26 saves and Patzold stopped eight shots for theSharks, who fell to 4-2-1 on the road this season.

    DETROIT (Ticker) -- Once again, the San Jose Sharks had noanswers for the Detroit Red Wings.


    Henrik Zetterberg scored a pair of goals, Valtteri Filppula hada tally and an assist and Detroit limited San Jose to just 11shots as the Red Wings rolled to a 5-1 triumph over the Sharkson Friday.


    Defenseman Andreas Lilja and Kirk Maltby also scored and TomasHolmstrom set up two tallies for Detroit, which improved to26-3-1 all-time at home against San Jose.


    Facing a two-games-to-one deficit in the Western Conferencesemifinals last spring, the Red Wings yielded just three goalsin reeling off three straight victories against the Sharks toadvance. Detroit picked up where it left off this season,posting a 4-2 win at San Jose on October 18 on third-periodtallies by rookie Matt Ellis and Pavel Datsyuk.


    San Jose's Joe Thornton could not explain the past but knewexactly what was wrong Friday.


    "They played really well and we played really bad," he said."That's not a good combination for us. They're a good team.They move the puck well and have some players who can scoregoals."


    In this one, the Red Wings were in control from the start asFilppula set the tone just 83 seconds into the first period withhis first goal of the season. Mikael Samuelsson carried downthe right wing and fed Filppula, who skated in from the slot andswitched to his backhand before lifting the puck pastgoaltender Evgeni Nabokov.


    "I was relieved," Filppula said of his first goal since March24. "I've had some good scoring chances earlier, but the puckjust didn't go in the net. It felt good to score. It probablyrelaxed me a little to get that first one."


    The 23-year-old Finn believed it behooved Detroit to score theinitial tally.


    "It's important, against a good team, to get off to a goodstart," he said. "We had good chances all night and we set somegood screens in front of the net."


    Lilja doubled the lead with 4:29 remaining in the session,beating Nabokov high to the glove side with a wrist shot fromthe top of the slot. It was the blue-liner's firstregular-season tally since April 17, 2006, a span of 69 games.

    "I'm happy to finally get that devil off my back," Lilja said.
