(SportsNetwork. Adrian Amos Jersey .com) - The Detroit Red Wings will try to record consecutive wins for the first time this month when they continue a road trip with Thursdays matchup against the Winnipeg Jets. Detroit began a three-game trek Tuesday with a 5-0 rout of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The decisive victory came two days after the Red Wings dropped a 4-1 decision in Sundays home test versus the Montreal Canadiens. The Red Wings received a 28-save performance from Jimmy Howard, who picked up his first shutout of the season. Tomas Tatar and Tomas Jurco each posted a goal and an assist while Gustav Nyquist, Riley Sheahan and Darren Helm all scored for the Red Wings, who have won three of their last five. We needed this game after that tough loss to Montreal, said Jurco. We talked about tightening up defensively and getting more pucks on net and things worked out well. Pavel Datsyuk missed Tuesdays test due to a groin injury. Detroits star forward is traveling to Winnipeg with the team, but he missed practice on Wednesday and isnt expected to play tonight. Petr Mrazek will get the start in net for Detroit tonight. He is 3-5-0 with a 1.80 goals against average in his NHL career, but this will mark his first appearance in 2014-15. The 22-year-old Czech has never faced the Jets. Winnipeg is aiming for a second straight win after halting a two-game skid with Tuesdays 3-1 home win over New Jersey. The victory pushed the Jets over the .500 mark at home, giving them a 4-3-1 record at MTS Centre. Michael Frolik scored a third-period goal and collected an assist to help Winnipeg down the Devils. Mathieu Perreault and Mark Scheifele scored 1:44 apart in the second period and Michael Hutchinson stopped 21 shots for the Jets, who were coming off a 2-2-1 road trip. The Jets, however, went 0-for-5 on the power play and the club is ranked 29th in the league on the man advantage. Winnipeg has converted just 9 percent (6- of-67) of its power-play opportunities. Clearly the power play is a sore spot for us and it has to get better, said Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice. The Jets are playing the middle test of a three-game homestand tonight and will complete the residency Sunday against St. Louis. Winnipeg swept the two-game season series with the Red Wings last season and has claimed four of the past five meetings between the clubs. Detroit has lost three of its last four road tests against the Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise. Davante Adams Jersey . Just ask Arsenal fans. However, Arsene Wenger has repeatedly told anyone willing to listen that finishing in that spot is more important than winning a cup competition. Yosh Nijman Jersey .The Ottawa Senators winger was relegated to a corner seat in the locker-room to allow Daniel Alfredsson to return to his regular stall one last time. http://www.custompackersjersey.com/custom-ahman-green-jersey-large-172r.html . Tony Parker had 33 points and nine assists and San Antonio never trailed in a resounding 116-92 victory over Portland, bullying the younger Trail Blazers in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.What are the three things you most want to see at the 2016 Cheltenham Festival? I was asked that question at the excellent Sky Bet Preview in Leeds last week.My rather selfish response was as follows:- 1. Racing is currently blessed with a collection of brilliant commentators. They have a number of sitting ducks to whip the Cheltenham crowd in to a frenzy next week. Just imagine the roar as the horses freewheel down the hill in the Champion Hurdle if the commentator exclaims Ruby Walsh is taking dead aim on Annie Power.The place will erupt. I hope the commentator gets the chance with Min in the Sky Bet Supreme to shout Ruby hasnt moved a muscle. That is bound to garner a spine tingling roar. There are plenty of other public favourites like Sprinter Sacre and Cue Card that will get the crowd going. Commentators following the story and whipping the racegoers in to a frenzy is all part of the Cheltenham magic. I cant wait. Alex Hammond is joined by Ed Chamberlin to look ahead to an exciting week of racing at the Cheltenham festival 2. I need Gordon Elliott to have a big week. Noble Endeavor, No More Heroes and Cause Of Causes are major fancies and he seems to have well handicapped horses in every handicap. Elliott has a chance to be a top trainer at a big price but looks a good thing in the market without Willie Mullins3. My mum will probably watch one race next week. Not the best Gold Cup for a generation but the race that follows; the Foxhunter. The Victoria Pendleton story sums up racing. Plenty of those within the sport seem to resent it yet those outside of racing love the story.I love the fact that racing will be on the front and back pages of the newspapers on Friday and Saturday. Its a terrific story and a fantastic achievement to be there so lets hope she gets round safe and sound.

Moved from John Quinn to Rebecca Curtis following an extended break, showing vague promise in a couple of novice chases in October, before getting his act together in a Cheptow handicap off 130.The form of that race stands up well, even in the context of a Festival handicap, and despite racing off a 9lb higher mark on Tuesday, he is still a big eyecatcher at the weights. Punters have to forgive him a dismal effort at Warwick last month, when he was struggling a long way from the finish. Take advantage of Sky Bets non-runner no bet (hes got an entry in the Kim Muir, too) and I can see him running a big race for Curtis, who won this race last year.ARDAMIRFred Winter (only back on the day if the going is no worse than good to soft)The way the Fred Winter is framed, you are always going to hear plenty of whispers flying around for the majority of the runners. At Sky Bets Preview evening at Leeds Town Hall on Wednesday evening I was happy to hear Denis ORegan raving about mmy fancy, Ardamir, who is reckoned to be not far off the best juveniles in the Alan King yard. Kyler Fackrell Jersey. Soft ground will hurt his chances (hence the proviso), in fact, they shouldnt even bother wasting a run on him if conditions are not good to soft or better, as hell struggle to see out the trip on the track. He left earlier form well behind at Doncaster last time, comfortably beating Our Thomas, and that form has a solid look to it in a race that contains a lot more questions than answers. Ed Chamberlin gives us his pick for Tuesdays racing at the Cheltenham festival NEW TO THIS TOWNWeatherbys Champion BumperJessica Harrington is not a fan of throwing arrers at the Champion Bumper, in the hope of hitting the bullseye. She won the race with Cork All Star nine years ago and her runners since have been sparse, to say the least. Its a strong tip in itself that New To This Town is making the journey to Cheltenham and when you throw his strong bumper form into the mix, I dont think there is a better double-figure priced runner across the four days. I liked the promise he showed on his Thurles debut in December but I loved his game when defeating a warm one in the shape of Avenir DUne Vie at Gowran Park at the end of January. The runner-up might be the best bumper horse in the Mullins stable, and if that is the case, New To This Town wins.CUP FINALPertemps Network FinalJP McManus has a load of chances in this competitive handicap. Leave At Dawn has been all the rage and you can see why, looking at his connections. However, hes a weak finisher over this trip (his brother runs on fumes in the closing stages of his races over three miles) and I am giving him a swerve. Cup Final is a lightly-raced seven-year-old of Nicky Hendersons and although his mark is creeping up (139) I believe he is more of a 150 horse and his breeding entitles him to another 10lb on top, being by Presenting out of that classy mare, Asian Maze. I thought he was impressive beating a solid yardstick at Musselburgh last month and he can start delivering on his early promise by winning one of the most competitive handicaps of the week. Plenty will have 7lb+ up their sleeeves, this lad might have a good bit more.THREE MUSKETEERSJLT Novices ChaseDan Skelton will be keen to get a Festival winner on his CV and if he is going to have a winner next week, Three Musketeers is one of his better chances. I like the market confidence behind him of late and I can see him proving his rubbish run in the Grade 2 Dipper Chase to be all wrong. Skeltons horses were not in great form at the turn of the year and hes had plenty of time to get the show back on the road with this impressive-looking six-year-old. I keep going back to his run at Newbury on his second chase start, when he blew away some good horses and if he can jump and travel with the same sort of verve in the JLT, he might be the answer at 14-1. The JLT is on Thursday and while he would get away with good to soft, he probably wouldnt want it any faster than that. Also See: Bet now at Cheltenham!
