Philadelphia Leads 3-2

The Detroit Red Wings seem to play best when their season is on the line.  They beat the top ranked Colorado Rockies three straight times facing elimination before the finals and now they did it again.  Facing elimination, the Red Wings smothered the Flyers, blanking them 2-0 and sending the series back to Philadelphia down 3 games to 2.  Denis Savard scored his 13th goal of the playoffs and Doug Smith scored his 3rd.  John Vanbiesbrouck made 23 saves for the shut out.  It was a costly victory, though.  The team lost forward Tom Fergus and defenseman Steve Konroyd to injury, neither of whom will play in Game #6.
