Osgood returns as Red Wings host Kings

Feb 27, 2009 - 11:23 AM Los Angeles (26-25-9) at Detroit (40-13-8), 7:30 pm EST

DETROIT (Ticker) -- Chris Osgood is set to return to the crease after his nearly two-week hiatus for a "mental recharge" when the Detroit Red Wings face the Los Angeles Kings on Friday.

Osgood maintained a respectable record despite struggling this season. The 36-year-old has posted an 18-5-7 mark with a 3.29 goals-against average and .879 save percentage.

A 14-year veteran with three Stanley Cup rings, Osgood has been getting challenged by Ty Conklin for the starting job. Osgood has allowed three or more goals in nine of his last 10 appearances.

The Red Wings, who are looking to sweep the season series against the Kings, have won three of their last four contests - including Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks.

Henrik Zetterberg netted a shorthanded and power-play goal for Detroit, which trails the Sharks by five points for the top spot in the Western Conference.

Los Angeles was shut out for a ninth time this season on Wednesday, suffering a 2-0 setback to the Philadelphia Flyers. The Kings have lost three of their last four contests.
