Hossa, Zetterberg lead Red Wings past Thrashers

Marian Hossa had two goals and an assist, Henrik Zetterberg also scored twice and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Atlanta Thrashers 5-3 on Friday night. Dan Cleary also scored and Chris Osgood made 30 saves for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who won their third straight. Jim Slater, Ron Hainsey and Brett Sterling scored for Atlanta and Kari Lehtonen stopped 41 shots. Hossa gave Detroit a 2-1 lead for good with his first goal. He picked up a loose puck just inside the Atlanta blue line, cut in off the left wing, used a fake and a toe drag while cutting across the slot on defenseman Mathieu Schneider, a former Red Wing, and goalie Kari Lehtonen and put the puck into the empty net.
