(Sports Network) - The Nashville Predators will try to put the finishing touches on just the second playoff series victory in team history, as they host the Detroit Red Wings tonight in Game 5 of the Western Conference quarterfinals at Bridgestone Arena. . The fourth-seeded Predators, who entered the league for the 1998-99 season, have made the playoffs in seven of their 13 seasons in existence, but their only series win came over Anaheim in last springs conference quarterfinals. Nashville went on to lose in Round 2 last year to the Vancouver Canucks. Detroit was able to earn a split of the opening two games in Nashville, taking Game 2 in the Music City, but the fifth-seeded Red Wings surprisingly stumbled at home. Detroit was 31-7-3 as the host this season and at one point set an NHL record with 23 straight home victories, but the Wings lost both Games 3 and 4 at Joe Louis Arena to fall behind 3-1 in this series. The Red Wings will now have to fend off elimination on the road, where they were just 17-21-3 during the regular season. "You cant look at the big picture. You have to break it up and look at that next game. Take things one game at a time," said Detroit captain Nicklas Lidstrom. After winning Game 3 by a 3-2 score in regulation, the Predators pushed Detroit to the brink of elimination with Tuesdays 3-1 victory at the Joe. Kevin Klein scored the tie-breaking goal 6:25 into the third period and David Legwand sealed the win with a power-play goal in the final minute. Pekka Rinne continued to frustrate Detroits offense, as the potential Vezina Trophy finalist made 40 saves for the Game 4 victory. He turned aside 16-of-17 shots in the third period alone. All told, Rinne has stopped 130-of-138 shots for a .942 save percentage in this series. Detroit goaltender Jimmy Howard, who made 14 saves in Game 4, has surrendered 11 goals on only 91 shots over the four games. "Its not time to get too frustrated," said Red Wings forward Valtteri Filppula. "We just have to keep going and battle through it. Their goalie has been playing great. A lot of credit has to be given to him (Rinne). He makes it a lot more difficult." Detroits lone goal on Wednesday came on the power play and was scored by Jiri Hudler, but the Red Wings were just 1-for-7 on the man advantage in the game. The Predators are looking for their first playoff series victory against the Red Wings in the third meeting between the clubs. The Central Division rivals also met in the first round in 2004 and 08, with Detroit taking both series in six games. The last time Detroit lost in the opening round of the postseason was in 2006, when they were upset in the conference quarterfinals by eighth-seeded Edmonton.

Catch all the action on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 7pm et/4pm pt. "Im expecting boos," Ray said after arriving at Commonwealth Stadium on Friday prior to his teams CFL season-opening matchup. "Ive just travelled enough around the CFL, going to Regina, Hamilton and some of those places, (like) Winnipeg, and you get haggled pretty good, so Im just expecting it to be the same." Ray played for nine years in the Green and Gold, winning two Grey Cups and racking up more than 40,000 yards in passing before getting traded to Toronto last December. The 32-year-old said if hears boos, hes OK with it. "The fans here dont owe me anything," he said. "I owe so much to (the fans) for the support theyve given me throughout my career here. "Im a visitor coming into their stadium and I expect the worst." Ray admitted it will be strange to walk into the visitor locker-room and not the Eskimo room on game day, but said its good to get it over with. "Its nice to play this game early and kind of put it to bed," he said. "It feels different from a regular regular-season game. Theres extra media and different emotions that youre going through." Ray was traded by Eskimo general manager Eric Tillman to the Argonauts for quarterback Steven Jyles, kicker Grant Shaw, and a draft pick. Eskimo fans writing, blogging and phoning sports call-in shows have been generally critical, saying Edmonton gave away too much for Jyles, a quarterback with fast legs and a strong arm but one who has been a backup for much of his six-year CFL career. Ray said he was shocked at the trade, but said hes made his peace with it. "You feel like (the Eskimos) didnt believe in you anymore," he said. "You just wish you could have been the guy they thought could get them to the Grey Cup again. Definitely it hurts you a little bit, but its part of the business." Meanwhile, when Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Steven Jyles sits by himself in his dressing room cubicle, the memory of Ricky Ray is over his head — literally. Above the bench and hooks is a plate wiith Jyles name and number. [url=http://www.buccaneersofficialteamstore.com/autographed-davin-joseph-jersey-... Joseph Jersey. Above that is a tiny plaque that reads "Ricky Ray 2002-2011." It reminds players that this is where the teams career passing leader sat before being dealt to the Toronto Argonauts for Jyles in a package deal last December. Saturdays game will be the culmination of six years of hard work and broken dreams for Jyles, the 29-year-old from Baton Rouge, La.. For six years he has stood on the sidelines with a clipboard and hit the field only when someone else got hurt or played poorly. When the Eskimos traded for him, it was a signal that Edmonton general manager Eric Tillman believed Jyles was ready for prime time. It was Stevens turn, his moment in the sun. But as Jyles stood this week in front of Rays old locker, almost every media question that came at him was about someone else. Yes, he said, hes replacing a legend. "Ricky Rays a great guy. A future Hall of Famer in my eyes," said Jyles. No, he wont by overwhelmed by the grandeur of Rickys Return. "Its just another ball game for us." His voice was emotionless, his mood that of a dental patient — polite but determined to get it over with. Jyles is no stranger to skepticism but it reached new heights following the trade that brought him back to the Alberta capital. He played with Edmonton for two seasons when he began his CFL career in 2006, and couldnt get off the sidelines. Jyles was dismissed as all arm, no football sense. Since then, he has shone in spot duty with Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, and Toronto, known for his fast feet, a cannon arm and game-breaking potential. Eskimos receiver Greg Carr, who also played with Jyles in Winnipeg, said they see Jyles taking those hits and get inspired. Carr said Jyles speed gives the Eskimos the extra offensive dimension they need. Its one that wasnt there with Ray. Jyles can change the game with his feet or improvise a new play out of a broken one, said Carr. "With him no play is dead." Eskimos linebacker T.J. Hill said that against Jyles, defensive linemen must diligently honour the gaps or risk him breaking free for big yardage. Linebackers walk a fine line, he said. Over-commit and Jyles runs past you. Drop off too deep and he torches you with the underneath throws. ' ' '
