Red Wings Hold Back Stars, Take 2-0 Lead

Posted May 10, 08 10:17 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Darren Helm and Henrik Zetterberg scored first-period goals to help make up for the loss of Johan Franzen and the Detroit Red Wings held on for a 2-1 win tonight over the Dallas Stars and a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals. Stephane Robidas tied it at 1 midway through the first period, but the Stars struggled to get shots to or past Chris Osgood.

Dallas' Marty Turco made 32 saves, but he fell to 0-9-2 in the NHL at Joe Louis Arena. Osgood needed to stop just 17 shots, improving to 8-0 as a starter in the playoffs this season. The game at Joe Louis Arena ended in ugly fashion as Osgood seemed to use the handle of his stick to poke Dallas' Mike Ribiero when he skating past the net.
