Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Henrik Zetterberg picked up his first hat trick in almost two years as the Detroit Red Wings erased an early 3-0 deficit and topped the luckless Buffalo Sabres, 6-4, at Joe Louis Arena. Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar each posted a goal and one assist for the Red Wings, who scored five unanswered goals to win their fourth straight and sixth in seven. Drew Miller picked up a score, Danny DeKeyser added two helpers while Thomas McCollum picked up his first career win in relief by stopping 7-of-8 pucks. Petr Mrazek worked the first 13:37 before being pulled after allowing three goals on seven shots. Tyler Ennis totaled two goals and three points for the Sabres, whose franchise-record losing streak reached 11 games. Chris Stewart and Drew Stafford also provided offense with Nikita Zadorov adding two helpers in the loss. Jhonas Enroth was on the hook for all six tallies on 26 shots. Zetterberg beat Enroth at the left post during a delayed penalty call and the hosts took their first lead of the game, 4-3, at 1:59 of the final stanza. The Wings were given the games next advantage and capitalized at the 5:05 mark when Zetterberg slipped into the slot and redirected a Nyquist dish for a two- goal spread. Ennis brought the Sabres to 5-4 at 8:31 when his long turnaround shot squeezed through McCollum and trickled over the goal line, but there would be no further comeback. Zetterberg picked up his third of the night on a rush up the right wing during which he fired a shot that slipped between Enroths pads and curled inside the far post at 11:59. For the veteran Swede, it was his first three-goal effort since Feb. 1, 2013 against the Blues and capped the comeback victory. Stafford beat Mrazek on a quick shot from the outer edge of the left circle just 1:46 into the contest and Ennis threw a puck past a Matt Moulson screen from the goal line on the right wing to make it 2-0 at 10:21. Buffalo converted its first power play when Ennis shot from the right circle and the puck ticked off Stewart to make it 3-0 at 13:37. McCollum was summoned from the bench thereafter. Detroit needed a little over four minutes of the second period to get two goals back, as Nyquist chopped a puck out of the air on the power play at one minute even and Miller followed at 4:07 with a spinning shot from the high slot. The Wings tied the game just after the midway point of regulation on Tatars marker. Game Notes Zetterberg has recorded six career trifectas ...

John Tavares Jersey .com) - Oregon wasnt going to let Arizona ruin its national title dreams for a second straight season.MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Grizzlies are happy to be back in Memphis, where they finished the regular season by winning a franchise-record 14 straight games. They brought home-court advantage with them. To guard Mike Conley, that ratchets up the pressure even more. Its time for the Grizzlies to protect the place they call the Grindhouse. "Its going to be tough against a team thats played so well, especially on the road," Conley said Wednesday of the Thunder. "But were happy with our position, I can tell you that much." The Grizzlies evened this first-round Western Conference series by winning 111-105 in overtime at Oklahoma City on Monday. Being the visitor Thursday night in a hostile arena for Game 3 isnt a concern for the Thunder, who went 25-16 away from Oklahoma City for the NBAs second-best road record in the regular season. "Everybodys going to be there. Theyre going to have T-shirts. Theyre going to be swinging towels," Kevin Durant said. "Its the playoffs. Its going to be hostile, but weve been there before." Yes, the Thunder certainly have. But they have exactly one win in five previous post-season games in Memphis, and they needed three overtimes to pull that out in the 2011 conference semifinals. Memphis took both matchups in last years semifinals en route to winning the series in five. Memphis went 5-2 at home in the 2013 playoffs, when San Antonio, in the conference finals, was the only visitor to win. Tony Allen, who has made Durant work so much harder for his points in this series, said the Grizzlies cant become complacent knowing theyll have a loud crowd at the FedExForum. "We got to understand its one game at a time," Allen said. "Its the playoffs. Each game counts. Each possession counts. We cant get caught up in that." Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger also has cautioned his team not to simply assume being home will make everything work. That 14-game winning streak that helped them reach the pllayoffs as the seventh seed also is meaningless.dddddddddddd Joerger said its time to start over now, and the team that sets the tone for its style quickest has won each of the first two games. Oklahoma City ran all over Memphis in winning the opener 100-86 in a game that was only that close because the Grizzlies had a big third quarter. The Grizzlies slowed the Thunder down from the opening tip Monday night in leading by as many as 10, even if they needed overtime after Durants amazing four-point play off his 3 falling out of bounds. "Our team is a team that cant play too far from behind because we play a certain style of basketball, and its tough," Grizzlies forward Mike Miller said. "Our starts are big for us. They do have some pressure. They have some expectations." The Thunder practiced Wednesday in Oklahoma City before travelling to Memphis. Coach Scott Brooks wants the Thunder to keep Conley and backup guard Beno Udrih in front of them. Udrih had 14 points in 14 minutes, giving Conley plenty of rest in his first extended action since being claimed off waivers in February. Brooks also wants to make sure Memphis big men work for what they get. Zach Randolph scored 25 points Monday, hitting 10 of his 20 shots. Offensively, Oklahoma City wants to screen better to keep Allen away from Durant as much as possible. "If we dont have good setups and good screens, its going to bog down and its going to be tough shots at the end of the shot clock," Brooks said. Of course, thats exactly what the Grizzlies want to slow down the Thunder. "We just keep slogging along and we feel always that if we get you in a possession game, we feel like that over the course of 48 minutes that we can grind you down," Joerger said. ___ AP Sports Writer Cliff Brunt contributed to this report from Oklahoma City, and AP freelance writer Clay Bailey contributed in Memphis. ___ Follow Teresa M.
