Hockey Betting Lines

12/26/2008 - Nashville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dan Ellis made 38 saves and Vernon Fiddler netted the eventual game-winner late in the second period as the Nashville Predators downed the first-place Detroit Red Wings, 3-2, at the Sommet Center.

Kevin Klein and Greg Zanon also scored while Martin Erat notched two assists for Nashville, which has won three of the last five games on the heels of a three-game slide.

Dan Cleary and Mikael Samuelsson lit the lamp for Detroit, which came in having won three straight and four of its last five. Ty Conklin allowed three goals on 31 shots in taking the loss. Conklin was making his fourth straight start in place of Chris Osgood, who is battling a groin strain.

Nashville took a 2-1 lead on Klein's one-timer off a Rich Peverley pass from the right corner back to the circle for a power-play tally with 6:36 remaining in the middle stanza. Erat then set up Fiddler for a score in front after controlling the disc behind the net for a 3-1 lead at 18:52.

Samuelsson was the recipient of a faked shot and pass from Andreas Lilja at the left point and snuck one past Ellis on the short side from a wide angle down low to make it 3-2 just three minutes into the period but the Preds starter recorded 14 consecutive stops to help his club hang on for the win.

Zanon got things started for the Preds with a blast from just above the left circle off a faceoff 9:29 into the game but Cleary evened the score with 5:56 left in the period, skating in off the right boards and firing a high shot past Ellis to the stick side.
