NASHVILLE -- The Nashville Predators withstood every comeback try the Detroit Red Wings threw at them and skated off with a win. Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist, and Mike Fisher scored a goal and helped set up two others in the Predators 6-4 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night. Fisher has three goals and three assists in Nashvilles past two games. Craig Smith, Nick Spaling, and Roman Josi also scored. "There was emotion. There were lots of goals, sways in momentum, all the things that you have in sports," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "From that standpoint, I thought it was real good." Justin Abdelkader, Pavel Datsyuk, Drew Miller, and Patrick Eaves scored for the Red Wings, who have lost two of three. The teams combined for five goals in a back-and-forth third period, but Nashville never relinquishing the lead. "We found a way to shut it down and get that next one when we needed it," Fisher said. "Thats the sign of a good team, playing against a good team like that, we can win one in the third there." Wilson put the Predators ahead 1:54 into the game with a wrist shot from the high slot that beat goalie Jimmy Howard on the glove side. It was the first shot on Howard, who had been out with a knee injury since Dec. 10. "It wasnt very pretty, and it was a battle all night," Howard said. "To be honest with you, I felt like I was behind the play a lot and just didnt get comfortable in their end. When I thought I was on the angles, I was off the angles." Detroit tied it at 3:00 of the first period when Abdelkader carried the puck from below the Nashville goal line to the left of the net and lifted a backhander high to the stick side of goalie Marek Mazanec. Nashville regained the lead when Smith scored his team-leading 11th goal at 9:50 of the first. Skating down the left side on a 3-on-2 rush, Smith pulled up near the left faceoff dot and beat Howard on the short side. Spaling made it 3-1 at 4:24 of the second, but Datsyuk got the Red Wings back within a goal just 35 seconds into the third period with a one-timed shot from the right circle. Fisher stretched Nashvilles lead back to two goals at 5:50. Wilson carried the puck behind the Detroit net, emerged on the right side, and found Fisher on the left side for a shot into an open net that gave him his 10th goal of the season. Fisher set himself up for a Gordie Howe hat trick when he fought Abdelkader late in the second period. Miller made it 4-3 at 11:30, but Wilsons second of the game was scored 37 seconds later off a nice feed from defenceman Seth Jones, who had two assists for the second consecutive game. "It was a good play by (Jones), and I just had to get it up over," Wilson said. "We are definitely more confident out there, and did well defensively." Eaves netted his first goal of the season at 14:52 during a power play to again bring the Red Wings within a goal, 5-4. Josis empty-net, power-play goal concluded the scoring. Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall each had a pair of assists for Detroit. "There were times when we were doing a lot of good things and were sticking to the game plan, but for some reason were losing guys up ice and were not executing in our own zone," Kronwall said. "I thought we made it a little too easy for them at times. They got their chances a little bit too easily." NOTES: Nashville is 15-1-2 when it has scored first this season. ...

(Sports Network) - When the Celtics Rajon Rondo made a brilliant steal in the waning seconds on Tuesday in Atlanta, you couldnt help but think of Johnny Mosts iconic call, "Havlicek stole the ball." Rondos effort looked like it was going to be just the latest memorable moment in Bostons storied history until he fumbled it away and the Hawks avoided elimination by winning an 87-86 thriller in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. Catch all the action live on TSN right now. With the Celtics down by one, Rondo swiped Josh Smiths inbounds pass and pushed the ball up the court, dribbling into the left corner. Smith and Al Horford switched defensive responsibilities, and Horford disrupted Rondos dribble as time wound down. By the time the dynamic point guard recovered and threw to Kevin Garnett at the top of the key, Smith tipped the ball away as the buzzer sounded, pulling the Hawks within 3-2 of a series that continues tonight back in Boston. "The whole thing was to force [Rondo] to pass the ball. I crowded him as much as I could, and Josh made a great tip," recalled Horford of the final play. "I hate that the game ended the way that it ended," Celtics coach Doc Rivers added after the Hawks hung on. "I thought that Rondo willed us back into the game. He really did." Horford and Smith both shook off injuries and posted double-doubles to keep Atlantas season alive. Horford, battling through a still-bothersome pectoral injury that caused him to miss most of the regular season, totaled 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Smith chipped in 13 and 16 despite dealing with a sore knee.dddddddddddd It was Smiths inbounds pass however, that nearly threw away a chance to seal the win with 10.9 seconds remaining. "My heart was racing a hundred miles an hour on the last sequence," Hawks coach Larry Drew said. "We didnt make a smart play inbounding the ball, but Im glad (Smith) had the presence of mind on the last play to step up on Rondo." Jeff Teague donated 16 points in Game 5 for the Hawks, who got 15 points apiece from Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams. The Celtics received 16 points apiece from Garnett and a hobbled Paul Pierce, also limited due to a knee injury. Ray Allen added 15 points, and Rondo finished with 13 points and 12 assists in defeat. "I didnt like our execution down the stretch," Rivers said. "We did a couple of things we shouldnt have done, but overall I just thought [the Hawks] played harder. They played better." In the playoffs, this rivalry dates all the way back to the 1956-57 season when the Hawks called St. Louis home. Since moving to the Peach State in 1968, however, the Hawks have never beaten the Celtics in the postseason, losing six straight series (1972, 73, 83, 86, 88 and 2008.) Boston also won two of three over the Hawks in the regular season, including the lone contest at TD Garden. Game 7, if necessary, is slated for Saturday back in Atlanta.
