NHL: Detroit 2, Boston 0

DETROIT (UPI) -- Goalie Chris Osgood posted his first shutout of the season Tuesday, stopping 29 shots and leading the Detroit Red Wings to 2-0 win over Boston.

Henrik Zetterberg and Tomas Holmstrom supported Osgood with first-period goals for the Wings, who have won three of their last four games.

Boston goalie Tim Thomas made 24 saves in defeat for the Bruins, who were shut out for the second straight game. Thomas was outdueled by the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist Sunday in a 1-0 loss.

The Wings went up 1-0 with 5:39 left in the first after Pavel Datsyuk won a draw and sent it to Zetterberg, who wired a one-timer past Thomas. Holmstrom made it 2-0 at 17:43 with his eighth goal of the season off Zetterberg's behind-the-back pass.

Osgood was particularly good in the first period, when he kept the Bruins off the board with 13 saves.
