Red Wings aim for fourth straight win

Nov 20, 2008 - 11:26 AM Detroit (12-2-3) at Edmonton (9-8-2) 9:00 p.m. EST

EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- The Detroit Red Wings are off to their typical strong start and the Edmonton Oilers are well aware of it.

The Red Wings will look for their fourth straight win when they face the Oilers on Thursday.

Defending champion Detroit has won three in a row, the last coming at home on Monday in a 4-0 win over Edmonton. Niklas Kronwall had a goal and an assist and Henrik Zetterberg added a pair of assists as Ty Conklin made 21 saves.

Conklin will likely sit and watch as top goaltender Chris Osgood and his 7-1-3 record make their way back into the crease.

Newcomer Marian Hossa leads the Red Wings with 10 goals and 23 points, including nine points on the power play. Detroit leads the NHL by a wide margin with the man-advantage, converting 32.4 percent of its opportunities.

Edmonton returns for a rare home game, having played just five of its 19 contests in front of friendly fans.

The Oilers played at Columbus on Tuesday and exploded after being shut out by the Red Wings, topping the Blue Jackets, 7-2. Alex Hemsky had three assists and Dwayne Roloson made 37 saves in the win.
