Page 8-The Michigan Daily-Sports Monday- April 20,1992 Red Associated Press WI ngs, Canucks lose home-ice advantage The Detroit Red Wings and Vancouver Canucks strived all sea- son to finish first in their NHL divi- sions. They did, gaining home-ice advantage for the first two rounds of the playoffs. One night into those playoffs, that advantage is gone. If the Canucks and Red Wings don't re- bound for victories at home tonight, they might start thinking about vaca- tion instead of another playoff series. Detroit, winners of the Norris Division during the season, fell 4-3 to Minnesota. Vancouver, tops in the Smythe, lost to Winnipeg 3-2. Another host, the Los Angeles Kings, was beaten at home, by Edmonton 3-1. Only Chicago surived at home, taking St. Louis 3- 1. Last night, the Wales Conference playoffs began. New Jersey was at the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh at Washington in the Patrick, while Hartford played at Montreal and Buffalo at Boston in the Adams. North Stars 4, Red Wings 3 With Jim Johnson and Brian Bellows connecting in the third pe- riod, the North Stars went up a game on Detroit. "The attitude was, 'Let's get ready for the next game,"' Bellows said. Red Wings coach Bryan Murray knows which team was ready for the first game. It wasn't his squad. "We didn't play with the same urgency that Minnesota did," Murray said. "They are going to play this way, and try to take the talent out of the game. We have 18 guys who can play better in Game 2. At least, I hope they can." Jets 3, Canucks 2 Winnipeg used an international flavor, getting goals from a Swede (Frederik Olausson), a Russian (rookie Evgeny Davydov) and an American, Ed Olczyk, who scored on a breakaway in the third period to win it. That offset goals by former Soviet stars Pavel Bure and Igor Larionov. Rick Tabaracci, usually the Jets' No. 2 goalie, stopped 20 shots. Tabaracci, who played only 18 league games, was Paddock's goal- tending choice over Bob Essensa be- cause Tabaracci was 1-1-2 against Vancouver this season. Oilers 3, Kings 1 Edmonton beat Los Angeles with perfect penalty-killing. The Kings were blanked on nine power plays, five in the third period, and had only nine shots on their power plays. "I thought it was a very disci- plined effort and probably the best penalty-killing we've exhibited this year," said Oilers coach Ted Green. Edmonton sustained two more injuries in the win. Left wing Craig Simpson sprained his right shoulder and right wing Anatoli Semenov also injured his shoulder. The Oilers already are without veteran de- fensemen Craig Muni and Kevin Lowe. Blackhawks 3, Blues 1 Chicago won a playoff opener for the first time since 1985 as Ed Belfour stopped 33 of 34 Blues shots. Brett Hull, the NHL's leading goal-scorer, led the Blues with five shots but couldn't score. And Belfour made his best save against Brendan Shanahan in the second pe- riod. "They took the flow from us in the second," said Blues coach Brian Sutter. "(Jeff) Brown hits the post, (Philippe) Bonzon hits the post, Belfour makes a great glove save on Shanahan and right after that we turn the puck over in the neutral zone and it's 1-1."
