DETROIT -- Detroit needed to win each of its last four games of the regular season just to get into the NHL playoffs for the 22nd straight season. After rallying from a 3-2 series deficit against Anaheim, the seventh-seeded Red Wings refused to be knocked out and credited that regular-season streak for getting them to the second round. "Those last four games really helped our team," Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg said. "We almost had a series before the post-season started." The Red Wings reward isnt much of a prize. The leagues top-seeded team, the Chicago Blackhawks, will host Game 1 on Wednesday night to start a best-of-seven series in which theyll be heavily favoured. During the regular season, Chicago beat Detroit in overtime once, twice in shootouts and added a 7-1 rout March 31 at Joe Louis Arena. "They had our number the regular season," Zetterberg said. "Its a great team. Theyre stacked with forwards. Theyre stacked in the back line. And they have a good goalie. Its going to be a tough series for us, but its going to be a fun one." Its also might be the last time the two Original Six teams play each other in the post-season for a long time. After this year, the next time they would meet in the playoffs, it would be for the Stanley Cup. The Western Conference rivals, who have split a dozen seven-game series, will be interconference foes next year because Detroit is headed to the Eastern Conference as part of the leagues realignment. The Red Wings might be able to play loose with nothing to lose because few outside of their dressing room will expect them to reach the conference finals for the first time since 2009. That year, Detroit eliminated Chicago in five games and was a win away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions. Detroit is hoping to make another run this post-season, perhaps following the path the Los Angeles Kings did last year as the first team seeded eighth to win an NHL championship. "In the league right now, any team can beat any team," Red Wings defenceman Kyle Quincey said. "We said from Day 1, we knew it would be tough to get into playoffs and we battled all the way to the end. We just said to try to get in and see what happens. We saw what LA did last year and hopefully we can keep going and give Chicago a run." Detroit did outshoot the Blackhawks in three games, and had as many shots once. But the Red Wings couldnt score a clutch goal or make one more save in regulation, overtime or shootouts to win any of them. The Red Wings, though, have evolved into a different team than the last one Chicago saw April 12 in a 3-2 shootout win at the United Center. Detroit didnt get free agent defenceman Ryan Suter or forward Zach Parise in the off-season as both signed with Minnesota. But Detroits young defencemen, being forced to play a lot without Nicklas Lidstrom on the roster, have slowly matured and its inexperienced forwards have evolved into threats to score or set up teammates for goals. Goaltender Jimmy Howard has validated the teams decision to sign him to a six-year contract extension last month by making 70 saves over the last two games against Anaheim. While Howard insisted the Red Wings believe they can play with anybody, hes also not striking a cocky tone about trying to match up with Chicago. "Were going to have our hands full, lets be honest," he said. "Theyre a very deep team at every position."

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- The 1 p.m. tee time last Monday would have been no big deal otherwise. But it was in Switzerland. And for Henrik Stenson, it was the day after winning The Open.That was hard on no sleep, said Stenson, smiling.The occasion was a charity event for Sergio Garcia, one Stenson had long ago committed to and which attracted a slew of big-name players.But coming less than 24 hours after winning The Open in Scotland, the timing was not the greatest. Then it was home to Sweden for what was supposed to be a few days with the family, his golf clubs stored away.But having become the first Swedish male golfer to win a major championship, there were media demands that consumed quite a bit of time.Someone even told me they were broadcasting it live on radio, so I guess that shows the magnitude of the win, Stenson said. If they broadcast the whole thing on radio, national radio.A lot of interviews, a lot of media the first couple of days, but I still managed to spend some time with my family for a few days before coming over [to the U.S.] My signature has been pretty sought after since I touched base here in New York. Theres been a lot of signing these first couple of days out there.After shooting a final-round 63 at Royal Troon to win The Open by 3 strokes over Phil Mickelson, theres been a good bit of celebrating, and some traveling, but not much time for decompressing and assessing.Just 11 days after his career achievement, Stenson, 40, will go after major championship No. 2 on Thursday when the PGA Championship begins at Baltusrol. Its a quick turnaround without much time for reflection.Ive just got to get back into my game and pay attention to all the little things that are important to play good golf for me.dddddddddddd Exactly how to do it ... I havent been in this situation before. So I guess weve got to make the best I can, and you live and you learn. And if we dont get it right, Im sure well figure out why we didnt get it right.Stenson, who is ranked fifth in the world, would love to build on the momentum that has come from his two recent victories. He won the BMW International Open in Germany last month and has had five other top-six finishes in 2016.I dont think Im going to sit back and just say, OK, that was it, Im finished, Stenson said. Its definitely the icing on the cake. If I look at my career, to win a major championship, that was pretty much the only thing I had not managed to achieve, and now I have that.But then at the same time, you can look ahead and then try and win another one. I think Ive got a good few years in me and Im going to try and keep on developing, and if you dont, these young guys are going to come up and take over. So I think Ive got a bit of fight in me.Although there has been little time, Stenson did say hes had a few celebrations with the Claret Jug that involved champagne. With so much golf in the immediate future -- PGA Championship, Olympics, FedEx Cup, Ryder Cup, the European Tours Race to Dubai -- he expects that to subside.There have been some memorable celebrations, he said. [But] I have it [the Claret Jug] for a year, so there might be a few more sips. ' ' '
