Recap: Detroit vs. Boston
By Sports Network
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Chris Osgood stopped all 29 shots he faced to post his first shutout of the season and lead Detroit over Boston, 2-0, at Joe Louis Arena.
Henrik Zetterberg and Tomas Holmstrom provided goals for the Red Wings, winners in three of their last four games.
Tim Thomas made 24 saves in defeat for the Bruins, who have dropped two in a row without scoring a goal. On Sunday, Thomas allowed just one score but was outdueled by Henrik Lundqvist of the Rangers in a 1-0 setback.
The Wings picked up a power-play goal with 5:39 left in the first period as Pavel Datsyuk won a left-circle draw ahead to Zetterberg for a one-timer.
Holmstrom doubled the lead at 17:43 with his eighth of the season, redirecting Zetterberg's behind-the-back dish.
That proved to be enough offense for Osgood, who kept the Bruins at bay with 13 first-period saves, and eight stops both in the second and third periods.
