Lowe in command early in Round Two

There should be no doubt now - Lowe is the "heavy" favourite to claim the 2013 Steinley Cup.

After Wednesday's series opener between the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings, the big man is now four points up on Donnie, who remains in second place.  Graham holds down third spot.

Before Sharp scored an empty-net goal to seal things in Game One, he assisted on Marian Hossa's opening goal and later Johnny Oduya's midway through the third period that gave Chicago the lead for good. The Blackhawks would take Game 1 over the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 and Lowe would pocket a cool four points on the night.

Aucoin had no players in action on Wednesday.

S Graham, who had hopes of a big night, managed single points from Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa.  Viktor Stalberg was a healthy scratch.
