England manager Roy Hodgson has taken a gamble by including only three central defenders in his pre-Euro 2016 squad, according to Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher.Hodgson has selected his first-choice centre-back pairing of Gary Cahill and Chris Smalling with 21-year-old Everton defender John Stones acting as back-up.However, Stones experienced club-mate Phil Jagielka, who played at both the 2014 World Cup and during Englands unbeaten qualifying campaign, misses out, with Hodgson expected to utilise Tottenham Hotspur holding midfielder Eric Dier as a back-up centre back. Theyre players I respect and admire, but you have to make a decision, Hodgson said on Monday when announcing his 26-man squad that will be reduced to 23 names by May 31.Ive decided wed rob Peter to pay Paul, in the sense of taking only seven defenders, and unfortunately thats gone over Phil.It was a tough conversation, but Im glad to have spoken to him. Experienced England central defender Phil Jagielka has missed out on a place in Englands Euro 2016 squad Carragher, though, believes Hodgson is taking a risk by not including a fourth central defender in his squad for this summers tournament, especially given Dier has not played as centre back for Spurs this season.I think normally - there are going to be three players dropped - you would expect those players to be from each area of the team, he told Sky Sports News HQ.But a defender cant drop out as there are only seven in there.I think the thinking is Dier has played as a centre back, but he has not played there all season. And I think that is a bit of a risk, I must say, to just go with the three centre backs. To have Stones and Dier, who has not played there all season, as back-up centre backs is a bit of a risk Jamie Carragher The former Liverpool defender, who represented England 38 times in an 11-year international career, also thinks Hodgson is taking a chance by having Stones as first reserve given his mixed form for Everton this season.And one of them is John Stones, do not forget, who has had a tough time of it this season, Carragher said.So to have John Stones and Dier, who has not played there all season, as back-up centre backs is, I think, a bit of a risk. Roy Hodgson will be forced to use Spurs holding midfielder Eric Dier as a makeshift centre back if he suffers injuries to his three central defenders Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness agrees with Carragher and feels Hodgson has left himself open to criticism should one of his centre backs pick up an injury prior to the Euros.There are several surprises in the squad, said the former Liverpool manager.I think it is common sense to take players who are fit, bang at it, playing well and not take a chance on people who have not been playing regularly.I think there are several areas there where he has left himself open to criticism if it does not work for him. Everton defender John Stones has been out of form for his club for much of this season, says Jamie Carragher I think maybe he is not quite sure himself and so he has given himself the option of including someone who was not at the front of his mind.Only he can tell you that, but you have to go with your gut feeling and he has gone with who he thinks he can trust.He is the manager and it is his head that is in the noose if it all goes pear-shaped and it is totally down to him if it does.But again I come back to it, we are all football people, and we all see things a wee bit different.Also See:Rashford and Wilshere in squadEngland announcement LIVE!Wilshere ready for EnglandHodgson: No Rooney guaranteesGary Sheffield Dodgers Jersey .

Goaltending, Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said. I thought we had a good start, got the goal early but then we started to play a little too cute, let them back in the game. A little bit too stubborn with turnovers again. You cant do that against this team.After opening the season as the No. 2 man in net behind Petr Mrazek, Howard made his third consecutive start. He improved his goals-against average to 1.22 and his save percentage to .961.Howard is 4-2-0 in seven games, six starts.When I get in there, I just want to give the team a chance to win, he said.Dylan Larkin, Brendan Smith and Steve Ott scored for Detroit.

Ryan Miller made 24 saves.Miller made a spectacular stop after he began to leave the crease for an extra attacker. Zetterberg got a hold of the puck in the neutral zone and lobbed a shot at the almost-empty net, but Miller made a glove save while diving to his right.We played pretty well tonight, but it is the same story again, Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said. Were getting good chances and nothing is going in.Daniel Sedin cut it to 2-1 at 3:14 of the third period. He finished off a pretty back-and-forth ppassing play with twin brother Henrik by beating Howard with a shot from the bottom of the left circle.dddddddddddd It was Daniel Sedins fifth goal.The Sedins were not matched against Zetterbergs line for the goal.Were playing our system and were creating chances. We just cant get anything to go in, Daniel Sedin said. We have to figure this out, because we cant keep saying this every night. Were playing well enough to win games, but we need to put the puck in the net.Otts first goal with the Red Wings restored Detroits two-goal lead with 4:46 left.
