The Detroit Red Wings earned a convincing 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars on Thursday in the opening game of the Western Conference finals. Brian Rafalski and Johan Franzen put the Red Wings 2-0 up in the first period with power play goals then Swede Tomas Holmstrom added a third with a power play tip-in in the second. Finn Valtteri Filppula made it 4-0 before Brendon Marrow scored late in the second for the sixth-seeded Stars, who were unable to stop Detroit picking up their seventh successive win in the post-season. Game two of the best of seven series will played on Saturday in Detroit. (Reporting by Simon Evans in Miami; editing by Martin Petty)
