Home ice wasn't exactly an advantage for New Jersey and Detroit last night as they both dropped the openers of their second round NHL playoff series. The Ottawa Senators jumped out to a 4-0 first period lead and hung on for a 5-4 win over the Devils.

While the San Jose Sharks blanked the Red Wings 2-0 in Motown.

Tonight the Canucks look to even up their series with Annaheim in game 2. While the Rangers look to do the same in Buffalo.
