Wings, Bears Win Game One

The Detroit Red Wings, after a close first period, managed to slightly pull away from the Pittsburgh Penguins in game one of the Stanley Cup finals, 3-1. The Pens had their chances, but Chris Osgood was up to the task (as was the great backchecking by the Detroit forwards). No rest for the weary, though, as game two is tonight back in Hockeytown (8 p.m, NBC).

Meanwhile, the Hershey Bears squeezed out a huge 5-4 OT victory in game one of the the Calder Cup finals in Winnepeg, getting a hat trick from scoring machine Alexandre Giroux. Game two is Tuesday night.

Finally, in the ECHL's Kelly Cup finals, the South Carolina Stingrays missed the opportunity to clinch at home in a 3-2 OT loss and now head back to Anchorage for game six Thursday night. One more win and the Caps' affiliate will claim the title.
