OSHAWA, Ont. -- David Pacan scored twice, including the game winner, as the Niagara IceDogs eliminated the Oshawa Generals from the first-round of the playoffs with a 4-1 victory on Sunday in Ontario Hockey League playoff action. Niagara won the best-of-seven series 4-2. Pacan, who was named the games first star, broke a 1-1- tie 1:36 into the third period with a shorthanded goal, then added another at 16:01 to secure the victory. Alex Friesen had a goal and an assist for the IceDogs, Brock Beukeboom scored once and Pacan picked up an assist for a three-point night. Julian Melchiori scored the lone goal for the Generals, who dropped back-to-back games to finish their season. Mark Visentin made 27 saves for his 14th career OHL post-season victory while Daniel Altshuller turned away 28 of 31 shots in a losing effort. Niagara went 0 for 3 on the power play as Oshawa scored once on four chances with the man advantage. The IceDogs must wait for both the Ottawa 67s-Belleville Bulls series and Barrie Colts-Mississauga St. Michaels Majors series to wrap up before they will know who they play in the second round. Miller scores winner as Whalers eliminate Storm from OHL playoffs GUELPH, Ont. -- J.T. Miller scored 5:36 into overtime as the Plymouth Whalers eliminated the Guelph Storm from the playoffs with a 2-1 victory on Sunday in Ontario Hockey League playoff action. Plymouth, the second-seed in the Western Conference, won the series 4-2. Tom Wilson also scored for the Whalers while Stefan Noesen picked up an assist to move into a tie for top spot in OHL playoff scoring with seven goals and 14 points in six games. Kitchener Rangers forward Michael Catenacci also has 14 points, in only five games, but just two goals. Jason Dickinson scored the lone goal for the Storm, who managed only seven goals in the final four games of the series, all losses, after opening the playoffs with two wins. Scott Wedgewood turned away 35 shots for his ninth career OHL playoff victory as Garret Sparks, the games first star, stopped 34 shots in defeat. Plymouth scored on their only powerplay of the game while Guelph failed to score on either of their chances with the man advantage. Air Max Chaussures . The Eagles released the former All-Pro cornerback on Tuesday, just two years after he was the NFLs most sought-after free agent. Air Max Pas cher .C.

Strahan, who had 22 1/2 sacks in 2001 and 141 1/2 for his 15-year his career with the New York Giants, is joined by offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden of the Ravens and guard-tackle Larry Allen of the Cowboys and 49ers. Air Max France . His 5-under 67 on Friday held up for a three-stroke lead, though Calcavecchia and others began the second round while others finished the first. He was 1-over through eight holes, and Tom Kite and Kenny Perry made up a stroke with even par front nines.CHICAGO -- The Minnesota Wilds high-percentage shootout specialists came through again. Devin Setoguchi and Erik Christensen scored in a shootout to help the Wild beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 on Sunday night for their third straight victory. Setoguchi had a goal and two assists in regulation, then sealed the victory in the third round of the tiebreaker with a quick wrist shot that beat Ray Emery. Setoguchi is 4 for 7 in shootouts this season, while Christensen, who connected in the first round on a backhander, is 5 for 7. Although they had to settle for one point in the loss, the Blackhawks have lost only twice in regulation in their last 16 games (11-2-3) and are steaming back into the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. The Wild, despite the late spurt, are buried deep in the Western Conference standings and will miss the post-season for the fourth straight time. Still, wins matter for Minnesota. "These games are important for a lot of teams," Setoguchi said. "These games are about pride and building toward next season. People might think, Theyre out of it," but its big for our club to finish strong and do things the right way instead of taking a vacation here." Patrick Kane had the lone Chicago goal in the shootout against Josh Harding. Dany Heatley, Kyle Brodziak and defenceman Clayton Stoner also scored for Minnesota, which won in a shootout for the second straight night. According to Minnesota coach Mike Yeo, Setoguchi was his teams standout player from the opening faceoff. "That might be (Setoguchis) best game that hes played in a Minnesota Wild jersey, to be honest with you, right from the start," Yeo said. "I think that hes really elevated his game, and its obviously been a trying season for him, but its really encouraging to see him going the way hes going right now." The game was physical, featuring three fights in the first 30 minutes. And the Blackhawks battled back from a 4-2 deficit in the second period to send it to overtime. Kanes second goal in regulation, during a power play with 2:45 left in the third period, to tie it at 4. Alone in the slot, Kane converted a feed from rookie Andrew Shaw after Patrick Sharp forced Minnesota defenceman Tom Gilbert to turn over the puck. Sharp and Viktor Stalberg also scored for Chicago. "It was good to get one point at least," Kane said. "Sometimes those teams are tough to play, with some young guys trying to prove themselves, and you could see at the start they were going to play chippy and make some kind of statement." Although the Blackhawks dropped their final home game of the regular season, they already had clinnched a playoff spot with a 5-4 victory Saturday night in Nashville and can finish no lower than sixth in the Western Conference.dddddddddddd. They finished 27-8-6 at the United Center. Chicago has 98 points, tied with Nashville for third in the Central Division and fifth in the West. The Predators, however, have played one fewer game. The team that finishes sixth in the West will meet the third seed from the conference --this year, the winner of the Pacific Division -- in the opening playoff round. The sixth seed -- Chicago, Detroit or Nashville -- is assured of finishing with a better regular-season record than winner of the Pacific. And things are looking up for Chicago. The Blackhawks will get top defenceman Duncan Keith back after a five-game suspension for their next game, Thursday night at Minnesota. Theres also a chance that captain Jonathan Toews, who missed his 20th game with a concussion Sunday, will be back. He has been cleared to practice with contact. "Hopefully we get both (Keith and Toews)) back and we can become better as a team," Kane said. "Thats the biggest thing right now, working on these last two games, you want to move forward and get as high as you can in the standings. "But I think for all of us in here, we want to be confident about our team going into the playoffs, no matter who were playing or where were playing at." Harding made 31 saves through overtime, and Emery stopped 26 shots. Setoguchi opened the scoring at 10:11 of the first on a breakaway after taking Heatleys long feed. Crawford made a pad save on Setoguchis first shot, but the puck trickled underneath him, and Setoguchi stopped and slammed it in. Sharp tied it 34 seconds later. He connected from the slot after taking a centring pass from defenceman Nick Leddy, who had carried the puck in all the way down right wing. Heatleys tap-in power-play goal, capping a neat cross-ice passing play with Mikko Koivu and Setoguchi, put Minnesota ahead 2-1 just over 3 minutes later. Stalberg slipped past the Minnesota defence, took a feed from Brent Seabrook, cut to the net and tied it at 2 at 5:28 of the second. But Stoner pinched in and scored on a rebound of Setoguchis jam-in attempt 20 seconds later to put Minnesota back in front, 3-2. Then Brodziak added his 22nd goal, sweeping in a rebound while tumbling to the ice, 41 seconds later to make it 4-2. Kane cut it to 4-3 on a shot from the right circle at 8:20. Notes: Both Brodziaks goal (22nd) and Stalbergs (21st) extended career highs. ... Chicago LW Andrew Brunette, who had been playing on the Blackhawks top line with Kane and Marian Hossa, missed the game because of an undisclosed lower-body injury. ' ' '
