SAN JOSE, Calif. — Jimmy Howard stole the first two periods of Sunday's game for the Red Wings and Pavel Datsyuk the third, as the Wings pushed back yet again against the Sharks.
The Wings rallied from a third-period deficit Sunday at HP Pavilion to win, 4-3, and edge within 3-2 in the second-round series. Game 6 is Tuesday back in Detroit.

Howard faced 30 shots through 40 minutes and 42 in all. Datsyuk assisted on three goals, helping the Wings score three times in a little more than 10 minutes during the third period.

"Howie got us to the third period," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "Our D was good and our goaltending was good, but we weren't competitive enough up front."

Courier Staff Report

The Washington Redskins picked Logan Class of 2007 Alum Dejon Gomes in this year's National Football League draft, making him the 146th player picked overall.

Gomes was one of three Nebraska players chosen by the Redskins in the draft's fourth round.

In an interview on ESPN radio, Gomes immediately endeared himself to fans by calling Redskin's arch-rival Dallas Cowboys "losers."
