DETROIT — In one night, Kirk Maltby scored almost half as many goals as he had during the regular season.

Maltby lifted the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of their first-round series Friday with his second goal of the game 2:39 into double overtime.

He ended the 3Z\x-hour contest with a shot from outside the right circle that was deflected past goaltender Dwayne Roloson by the stick of Edmonton teammate Rem Murray.

"I feel brutal," Murray said.

Maltby made his winning goal possible by scoring with 6:17 left in regulation, putting in a rebound. The goal stood up after a video review.

He had just five goals this season after scoring 14 in each of the previous two, putting together his worst offensive campaign — 11 points — since 1996-97.

"I was disappointed in my season personally, but it was tough to be too down because we had such a great season," Maltby said. "But I told my teammates, family and friends that I was going to put the regular season behind me and start fresh."

With 54 saves, Roloson gave the Oilers a chance to steal a game against the Stanley Cup favorites.

"Unfortunately, they got a lucky bounce at the end of the game," Roloson said. "You can't fault our guys at all."

Game 2 of the best-of-seven Western Conference series is Sunday in Detroit, and the Oilers planned to use a Saturday afternoon practice to get over their loss.

"You can't carry that baggage long in postseason because that really debilitates your ability to bounce back," Edmonton coach Craig MacTavish said.

The New Jersey Devils hosted the New York Rangers on Saturday, Philadelphia was at Buffalo, and Montreal was visiting Carolina in the remaining Eastern Conference series starters. Colorado was at Dallas to get the last West series under way.

Predators 4, Sharks 3

At Nashville, Tenn., Adam Hall scored the go-ahead goal at 12:06 of the third period by redirecting a shot by Paul Kariya, who assisted on all four of the host Predators' power-play goals.

Mike Sillinger scored and had an assist, and Martin Erat and rookie defenseman Shea Weber both netted the first goals of their careers.

The fifth-seeded Sharks had won eight of nine, but only got one assist from NHL scoring champion Joe Thornton.

Mike Smith scored 4:12 in for the Sharks, Nils Ekman was set up by Thornton in the second period, and Scott Thornton tied it 3-3 in the third.

Chris Mason, victorious in seven straight, made 31 saves to win his playoff debut.

Senators 4, Lightning 1

At Ottawa, Martin Havlat and Jason Spezza scored power-play goals 1:07 apart early in the third period and Mike Fisher added a short-handed goal as the Senators rallied at home.

Daniel Alfredsson scored into an empty net with 1:02 remaining and Ray Emery made 35 saves for the Senators in his postseason debut.

Emery, playing in place of injured goalie Dominik Hasek, also earned an assist on Spezza's go-ahead goal 6:13 into the third.

Vincent Lecavalier opened the scoring on a two-man advantage late in the first period to give Tampa Bay the lead.

Flames 2, Mighty Ducks 1

At Calgary, Alberta, Darren McCarty scored 9:45 into overtime to lift the host Flames.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Anaheim's No. 1 goalie, practiced in the morning but missed the game with what the team called a lower-body injury. Ilya Bryzgalov was solid in his place, finishing with 28 saves.

Tony Amonte scored in the second period for the Flames, and Jeff Friesen got Anaheim even in the third.

Miikka Kiprusoff made 33 saves for the Flames.
