The Dallas Stars will begin the playoffs without top goal scorer Jason Robertson, who suffered a lower-body injury in their last regular-season game, coach Pete DeBoer said Friday. Robertson is week-to-week, which rules him out for at least the first few games of the opening-round series against the Colorado Avalanche. DeBoer didn't provide any additional details about the injury. Game 1 is Saturday night in Dallas.

DETROIT -- Buffalo's Alex Tuch and Detroit captain Michael Rasmussen were the first to drop the gloves in the fight-filled third period of the Red Wings' 7-3 victory Wednesday night. They weren't even among the 11 players assessed 10-minute misconduct penalties in the final frame. Six were from Buffalo, the other five from Detroit. The final tally from the third: 136 of the game's 150 penalty minutes, all but two of those either roughing, fighting or misconducts.
