MONTECOPIOLO, Italy -- A final push from Diego Ulissi saw the Italian win a tough eighth stage as the Giro dItalia took to the mountains on Saturday, while Cadel Evans ended Michael Matthews grip on the overall lead. Ulissi made his move inside the final 300 metres, bursting out of the peloton to edge Robert Kiserlovski for a second stage win in the race. Wilco Kelderman was third on the 179-kilometre (111-mile) leg from Foligno to Montecopiolo, which had two category one climbs, including the final ascent to the finish. "It was a difficult race today, it was really too hard for my characteristics, but of course I am really happy," Ulissi said. Evans finished fifth to take the lead from fellow Australian Matthews, who had worn the pink jersey for six days. Evans has a 57-second advantage over Rigoberto Uran, with Rafal Majka third. "We had hopes of what we could do," Evans said. "Its been a really difficult Giro for all sorts of reasons. We are in a good position at the moment. It was a hard stage with all the contenders there ... We still have huge mountains to go and the gaps there will be even more than today." This years Giro honours the 10th anniversary of Marco Pantanis death, and the eighth stage was one of three dedicated to him. There were many posters of Pantani along the route and a huge cutout of the Italian cyclist on the Carpegna climb, where he used to train. Pantani won the Giro and Tour de France in 1998. He was found dead in a hotel room on Valentines Day in 2004, and a coroner ruled he died from cocaine poisoning. Julian Arredondo led the race for most of the day as part of an early break of 10 riders who managed to build a lead of more than eight minutes. That advantage diminished on the approach to the first climb. With an average gradient of 9.9 per cent, and 14 per cent at its steepest, the Carpegna was the first serious challenge of this years Giro. Arredondo jumped on the ascent with 36.6 kilometres (22.7 miles) remaining and had a 36-second advantage over Stefano Pirazzi at the summit, with a greatly reduced peloton crossing 1 minute, 57 seconds later. Pierre Rolland attacked off the group on the descent but Arredondo still had an advantage of 1:10 over him at the start of the penultimate climb, with the peloton trailing by 2:40. Arredondo faded two kilometres from the finish, and Rolland continued on solo before being swept up by the peloton with 350 metres to go. Daniel Moreno jumped but he was passed by Kiserlovksi, who looked to take victory until Ulissis attack from nowhere. Sundays ninth stage is a 172km leg from Lugo to Sestola, which ends in a category 2 climb to the finish. wholesale jerseys . -- After enjoying the chance to watch Toronto beat Anaheim, the San Jose Sharks took advantage of a tired Maple Leafs team to move closer to the Ducks in the standings. cheap nfl jerseys .

DETROIT -- The Red Wings are getting accustomed to living dangerously and winning. Valtteri Filppula scored in the fourth round of a shootout to give Detroit its 16th straight home victory, 3-2 over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night. The 16-game home winning streak tied Detroit with the 1975-76 Boston Bruins for the fourth-longest home winning streak in NHL history. Only the 1929-30 Boston Bruins and 1975-76 Philadelphia Flyers (20 each), and the 1970-71 Bruins (19) had longer home winning streaks. The Red Wings, first overall in the NHL with 65 points, have won six straight overall -- four in shootouts and another in overtime. "We think were going to win, which is a real nice thing to have," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "But we can play better than we have, no question about it. So we dont want to get into a rut playing like this, we want to play way better." Niklas Kronwall and Nicklas Lidstrom scored for the Red Wings in regulation, and Jimmy Howard made 17 saves. Ryan Russell and Nikita Nikitin scored for Columbus, and Curtis Sanford stopped 29 shots. "Paying the price, playing hard, just not getting the results we want," Blue Jackets interim coach Todd Richards said. Columbus is last in the league with 31 points. The teams traded power-play goals in the second period. Lidstrom tied it 2-2 with 8:57 left in the period when his slap shot from the point bounced off the end boards and deflected in off Sanfords pads for his 10th goal. Nikitin gave the Blue Jackets a 2-1 lead 8:43 into the period with a wrist shot from the high slot. Russell oppened the scoring 8:51 into the game with his second goal.dddddddddddd He put in a rebound off the heel of Howards glove. Kronwall tied it with 8:26 left in the first period when he beat Sanford from the high slot off the rush. It was Kronwalls 11th goal of the season. Nikitin was pushed into the boards by Henrik Zetterberg from behind during a Red Wings power play with 9:51 remaining and had to be helped off the ice with an apparent leg injury. Zetterberg received a boarding major and a game misconduct. "The puck went down to the corner and I chased down their defenceman. I had my hand on his back. I dont think I pushed him hard.," Zetterberg said. "He went down. It looked bad, it looks really bad, so I cant blame the referee for giving me five minutes. I really dont know what to say, it looks bad." Columbus captain Rick Nash gave Zetterberg the benefit of the doubt. "Its a dangerous play. But the whole league knows that hes not that kind of a player," Nash said. "I thought he was going for the puck. I dont think Zetterberg is that kind of player." Richards said there was no update on Nikitin after the game because the coach had not yet had a chance to talk to the teams trainers. Zetterberg said he had not talked to Nikitin but said he would see if the Blue Jackets defencemen was still at the arena and try to talk to him. NOTES: Columbus signed former Detroit defenceman Brett Lebda on Thursday. He was a healthy scratch Saturday night. ... The Red Wings had only three goals on their previous 42 power plays before Lidstrom connected in the second period. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
