DETROIT -- Two goalies combined on a Detroit Red Wings shutout for the first time since the 2001-02 season, when they went on to hoist the Stanley Cup. "Maybe its a good omen," Jimmy Howard said after finishing off a shutout that Jonas Gustavsson started in a 2-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night. Justin Abdelkader scored early in the second period and again in the final seconds after Howard made 16 saves over the final two periods and Gustavsson stopped eight shots in the first. Howard also stopped David Booths penalty shot in the second. It was the first time Detroit had a combined shutout since Oct. 27, 2001, when Manny Legace and Dominik Hasek did it in a 1-0 win at Nashville, according to STATS. Gustavsson started, but couldnt play in the second or third because of dizziness. "I guess hes fine," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. The Canucks had coach John Tortorella behind their bench and forward Henrik Sedin on the ice after both missed six games. Tortorella was suspended for 15 days by the NHL for his conduct after a brawl in a game against the Calgary Flames. Tortorella went to Calgarys locker room following the first period, which began with several fights. "Whats happened was deserved," Tortorella said. "I hope it makes me a better coach, but it certainly doesnt stop the situations Ive put a lot of other people in, especially my other coaches." Sedin had been out since he was unable to finish the Jan. 18 game against Calgary because of an upper-body injury. He and his brother, Daniel, extended their goal-scoring droughts to 16 games. That matches the longest stretch of games the Sedins have played without either one of them scoring since 2002, according to STATS. "Obviously, theyre a big part of their team," said Detroits Henrik Zetterberg, who will team up with the Sedins for Sweden at the Olympics. "If you keep them in check, you have a good chance of winning the game." The Red Wings wanted to rest Howard, who had played two straight games following a four-game absence after aggravating a left knee injury, but he was forced into action. Howard helped Detroit keep its slim lead early in the second period when he denied Booths penalty shot. "I thought our best forward was David Booth, which is good for him but not good for us," Tortorella said. The Canucks went on a power play for the fourth time 5:29 into the third period, but didnt take advantage. They had an extra skater again when Detroit had too many men on the ice with 4:37 left in the game. It turned into a 4-on-3 advantage when players from both teams were called for a penalty, but Vancouver couldnt convert. "We looked like a slow hockey team tonight," Tortorella said. "Were going to keep banging and trying to get better. ... It worries me, it really worries me." Eddie Lack, starting a second straight game in place of Roberto Luongo, made 28 saves. Lack gave up what appeared to be a soft goal, failing to stop a long shot from Abdelkader with his blocker, but helped Vancouver stay within a goal when Detroit had a 5-on-3 power play midway through the second period. Lack also made three straight stops when Darren Helm had chances to score during Vancouvers final power play, including one sprawling stop in which he dove and got some of his glove on the puck. "The way hes keeping us in games, you want to score some goals for him," Vancouvers Jannik Hansen said. "We just couldnt find a way to get it done." The Canucks pulled Lack late in the game to add an extra skater, but teammate Alexandre Burrows was called for cross-checking with 38.7 seconds left. Abdelkader sealed the win with an empty-net goal with 15.7 seconds remaining. "His confidence is growing," Babcock said. "Hes making more plays with the puck." NOTES: Vancouver acquired forward Dale Weise from Montreal and scratched him from the lineup in Detroit. ... The Red Wings recognized people from both franchises who will represent their countries at the Sochi Games, including Detroit forward Gustav Nyquist, who is replacing injured teammate Johan Franzen on Swedens roster. ... Detroits Pavel Datsyuk, who missed his 14th straight game with a lower-body injury, hopes to play a game or two before being Russias captain in Sochi. Wholesale Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys .

Same old Andy. "Thats not where Im at right now," Reid said when asked if its going to be emotional when his Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) play the Eagles (1-1) on Thursday night. "I dont feel that way. If we werent playing a football game against a good football team, maybe your mind goes there. I dont see my mind going there. My mind is going to be on the job at hand and what weve got to get accomplished in a tough place to play." Clearly, Reid is still a stoic guy. But he also has to be aware of the spicy plot in which he is the centerpiece? Reid led the Eagles to nine playoff appearances, six division titles, five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl before he was fired after going 4-12 last year in his 14th season. While hes off to an excellent start with the Chiefs, who were 2-14 last year, Chip Kelly has reinvigorated the Eagles and their fans with his fast-paced offence and all-around energy. "I have great respect for Andy," Kelly said. "If youre a coach in the NFL, anybody head coaches in one spot for 14 years, you kind of look to them and say, Holy Smokes! If you just walk down these hallways and look at the championships, the division championships, the conference championships, what hes done, hes had a huge impact on this organization. "Theres not a lot of guys out there in this profession that carry themselves, from a coaching standpoint, when you get a chance to be around them, like Andy Reid." Five things to watch for in Chiefs-Eagles: WHAT GIVES ON THE GROUND?: Led by LeSean McCoys NFL-best 237 yards rushing, the Eagles are second in the league with 352 yards on the ground. The Chiefs defence is second against the run, allowing 54 yards per game. Something has to give. Last week, the Chargers geared up to stop the run, so McCoy had a big day catching the ball. KC may be strong enough up front to contain the run without having to commit an extra defender in the box. The team that wins this battle likely wins the game..dddddddddddd "Their front seven is pretty good," McCoy said. " So far, its the most complete defence weve played. But with the offence we have, it falls on us. We just have to execute." PASS-HAPPY ANDY VS. POROUS SECONDARY: Reid has always employed a pass-first philosophy and its no different with the Chiefs. Alex Smith has thrown on 59 per cent of Kansas Citys plays, excluding his scrambles that probably started as pass plays. The Eagles woeful secondary only gives Reid more incentive to pass, allowing 748 yards passing, third worst in the league. "They try to give you a lot of unorthodox looks," Smith said of Philadelphias defence. "We have to be on with our communication. Loud stadium, so everyone is going to have to be on the same page." BLOCKING POE: Chiefs nose tackle Dontari Poe already has 3 1/2 sacks, including 2 1/2 on Tony Romo last week. The big guy is a disruptive force and presents a difficult challenge for the Eagles. "Hes big, hes got really good feet, he looks strong in his upper body. Hes a smart player, too," Eagles right guard Todd Herremans said. MISTAKE-FREE MIKE: Michael Vick is off to an excellent start in Chip Kellys up-tempo offence. Hes making smart decisions, protecting the ball and operating the read option to perfection. Vick threw for a career-best 428 yards last week and has a 119.0 passer rating. Hes accounted for six TDs (four passing, two rushing) and zero interceptions. "Hes very explosive, he brings the run aspect to his position, and him being a dynamic player, you always have to account for him and make sure you know whats going on," Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. TIRED LEGS: The Eagles are the first team in NFL history to start the season with three games in 11 days. The Chiefs are playing their third game in 12 days. Expect some weary players out there. "Im happy that were doing this at the beginning of the season," Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin said. "If we were trying to get three games (in 11 days) in Weeks 12, 13 and 14, I dont know if you could do it."
