Chris Osgood Goes For Win 400
The Detroit Red Wings' recent bout with inconsistency might be of some concern for coach Mike Babcock.
Putting Chris Osgood in net may be enough to ensure a more complete effort.
The Red Wings will try to help Osgood become the 10th goalie in NHL history to reach 400 career wins Sunday as they host the Dallas Stars, who've won their last three against Detroit.
Babcock considered starting Osgood on Friday at Chicago, but instead opted to let the 38-year-old netminder try for the milestone at Joe Louis Arena.
Osgood picked up No. 399 by making 33 saves in a 4-1 win at New Jersey on Dec. 11. Although he's become the backup to Jimmy Howard for Detroit, 347 of his wins have come for the Red Wings, who drafted him in 1991.
He's 28-12-1 with three ties against the Stars, but Osgood has lost his last three meetings with Dallas, stopping just 11 of 15 shots in a 4-1 loss Oct. 14.
