Monday NHL Playoff Gameday

Detroit Red Wings at Dallas Stars, 8:00pm ET

The Stars looked like they were finished a week ago. Dallas dropped the first two games of the Western Conference final in Detroit, and they were then pounded 5-2 at home in Game 3 of this series last Monday night. However, the Stars have refused to go away quietly. Dallas avoided the sweep last Wednesday with a 3-1 win in Game 4 at home, and they made things a little more interesting with a 2-1 road win in Game 5 on Saturday. Trevor Daley opened the scoring for the Stars on Saturday, and Joel Lundqvist potted the game-winning goal in the second period. Jiri Hudler had the only marker for the Red Wings. Marty Turco stopped 38 of 39 Detroit shots in the contest, and Chris Osgood made 19 saves for the losing side. Stars forwards Jere Lehtinen and Stu Barnes and defenseman Mark Fistric all missed Game 5, as did Red Wings forward Johan Franzen; each of those players is listed as questionable to be ready for Game 6.

Despite being the home side the Stars aren't favored by the oddsmakers in this one - the Red Wings opened as -140 road favorites. The total for the game opened at 5 goals.

SCOREBOARD
Monday, May 19

St. Louis at San Diego (10:05 p.m.) The Cardinals send their newfound ace, Todd Wellemeyer, to the mound against San Diego ace Jake Peavy. Wellemeyer (4-1, 3.27 ERA) has won his last two decisions, while Peavy (4-3, 2.91) has dropped his last two.

STARS
Sunday

- Randy Johnson, Diamondbacks, scattered six hits and a walk over seven innings in a 4-0 victory over the Tigers. Johnson struck out five and improved to 4-1.

- Jose Reyes, Mets, homered and drove in three runs in a 11-2 rout of the Yankees.

- Mike Napoli, Angels, homered twice and drove in five runs in a 10-2 rout of the Dodgers.

- David Ortiz, Red Sox, homered twice as part of a 3-for-5 afternoon and drove in four runs in an 11-7 victory over Milwaukee.

- Ryan Braun, Brewers, homered twice and drove in four runs in an 11-7 loss to Boston.

- John Lannan, Nationals, went 7 1/3 innings and surrendered just four hits and a run, walking one and striking out five in a 2-1 win over Baltimore.

- Adam Dunn, Reds, went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in a 6-4 win over Cleveland.

- Nick Swisher, White Sox, hit a pinch-hit, three-run homer in a 13-8 win over the Giants.

STREAKING

The Giants' Randy Winn tripled with one out in the seventh against the White Sox to extend his hitting streak to 13 games.
White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski singled twice against San Francisco to move his hitting streak to 10 games, longest in the AL.

GUILLEN HEATING UP

Blaming his poor start on cold weather, Royals outfielder Jose Guillen is suddenly earning that $36 million, three-year deal he signed in December. He homered and drove in four runs in a 9-3 win over Florida, and has gone 19-for-38 since May 7 to hike his average from .165 to .245.

LEE LOSES!

Cliff Lee finally looked human. Adam Dunn homered for the fourth straight game, and Joey Votto finished off the Indians starter with the first pinch-hit homer of his career in the Reds' 6-4 victory. Lee (6-1) had allowed only four earned runs and one homer all season for an ERA of 0.67. Now it's up to 1.37.

STRANDED IN ATLANTA

Oakland had at least one baserunner in every inning against the Braves on Sunday, but left runners stranded at third base in the second, sixth, seventh and eighth in a 5-2 loss. The A's were 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position, leaving them 4-for-40 in their last six games.

BIG SHOTS

David Ortiz homered twice and drove in four runs, helping Boston Beat Milwaukee 11-7. Kevin Youkilis added a two-run homer and Dustin Pedroia also went deep for Boston, hitting a solo shot ahead of Ortiz's first of the game. Not too be outdone, Ryan Braun hit a pair of homers, and J.J. Hardy and Prince Fielder also went deep for the Brewers.

STAN STILL THE MAN

The St. Louis Cardinals honored Stan Musial in a pre-game ceremony, then made him proud on the field with a come-from-behind, 5-4 win over Tampa Bay. The Cardinals renamed Eighth Street in front of Busch Stadium "Stan Musial Drive" to honor the 87-year-old Hall of Famer, who had 3,630 hits during a 22-year career, all with St. Louis.

TWICE TOSSED

Astros manager Cecil Cooper was thrown out in the sixth inning of a 5-4 win over Texas by umpire Angel Campos, the second time he's been tossed in three games. He came out to argue when Michael Bourn was thrown out trying to steal second base. Campos also tossed Cooper when he argued a close play at the plate Friday night.

TYING TOMMY JOHN

Randy Johnson pitched seven scoreless innings for his 288th career victory as the Diamondbacks beat Detroit, 4-0. The 44-year-old Johnson (4-1) climbed into a tie with Tommy John for 24th on the all-time victory list. He allowed six hits and a walk while striking out five.

SPEAKING

"Once he got out of a couple of jams early on, he just started rolling, and then seemed like from about the third inning on he threw almost every pitch right where he wanted to."-Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin said, after Randy Johnson pitched seven scoreless innings for his 288th career victory, tying Tommy John for 24th on the all-time win list.

Pick 'n' Roll: Monday's best NBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

San Antonio at New Orleans (-4, 182 1/2)

The most important factor for Monday's game is likely David West's health. West aggravated a back injury in Game 6 when Robert Horry caught him with a hard backside screen. West left the game and didn't return as the Spurs rolled to an easy win, forcing a Game 7 back in New Orleans.

Now West's back is a concern, along with Tyson Chandler's foot.

"Took a pretty good shot in the back," New Orleans coach Byron Scott told reporters on Saturday. "Maybe it's a good thing that Game 7 is on Monday. It gives him a chance to get some rest - get that back together. Same thing with Tyson (Chandler) and his foot."

Then again, giving an experienced team like the Spurs another chance when you had them on the ropes is never a good idea. So what's it going to be? Youth and enthusiasm or age and experience?

Pick: San Antonio

Detroit at Dallas (+105, 5)

A few games ago we told you that Marty Turco was going to have to step up and steal a game from the Red Wings to keep Dallas alive. Guess what he went and did?

Turco has held Detroit to a single goal in each of the last two games and has been huge starting Dallas' breakout from its own end, even assisting on what turned out to be the winning goal in the second period of Game 5.

The Stars are allowing way too many scoring opportunities, even though Turco is holding the fort for now. Detroit will come out flying and the Red Wings offense will bust out sooner or later when it is developing as many chances as it is.

Good fight from the Stars, but this could be the end of the road.

Pick: Detroit
