CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) -- Thanks to Henrik Zetterberg andChris Osgood, the Detroit Red Wings have not been affected bythe loss of Dominik Hasek.


Zetterberg looks to extend his season-long point streak as wellas help the Red Wings to their seventh straight win against theCalgary Flames on Thursday.


Zetterberg, who scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 2-1 winover Edmonton, has 10 tallies and 12 asists during a 13-gamepoint streak.


Detroit, which leads the Western Conference with 45 goals, lostHasek last week due to a sore hip. The 14-year veteran, who is4-2 with a 2.68 goals-against average, is out indefinitely.

Zetterberg's play, and the play of the veteran Osgood, hashelped offset the loss of Hasek.


Osgood has been stellar since taking over for Hasek, going 3-0-0with a 1.33 GAA. The 16-year veteran stopped 19 shots inTuesday's win.


While Detroit has been forced to its backup goaltender, theFlames have one of the best in 2006 Vezina Trophy winner MiikkaKiprusoff. Kiprusoff signed a six-year, $35 million extensionon Monday and then stopped 39 shots in a 5-1 win over Nashvilleon Tuesday.


The 12-year veteran has gone 4-1-1 during Calgary's seven-gamehomestand, while not allowing more than three goals in any game.Kiprusoff, who has started every game this season, has beenespecially tough against the Red Wings here. Since joining theFlames in 2003, he is 3-1-1 with a 1.19 GAA against them athome.


As a result, Calgary is 3-0-1 in its last four games here vs.Detroit.
