They had a lot to celebrate.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Alex Lyon made 16 saves in relief of injured starter Petr Mrazek, powering the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-1 victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Monday night.

Elmer Soderblom, Marco Kasper, Austin Watson, Alex DeBrincat and Tyler Motte all scored to help Detroit snap a six-game skid away from home.

However, with two outs in the ninth, OSU’s Amanda Hasler spoiled the masterpiece with a walk-off solo homer to center, sealing a 2-1 victory and the Cowgirls’ 2-1 series win in Stillwater.
“She hit my miss,” said Walker, who delivered a dropout pitch on the deciding play.

DALLAS (AP) — Jake Oettinger shut out his home-state team stopping 32 shots, Wyatt Johnston and Matt Duchene scored 58 seconds apart late in the second period and the Dallas Stars beat the Minnesota Wild 3-0 on Monday night.

Johnston deflected a shot from the blue line by Thomas Harley for a power-play goal at 15:01 of the second.
