Sports | Detroit Red Wings Hasek-less Wings Blast Flames Detroit smacks around Calgary to start season 3-0-1 By Max Brallier Posted Oct 11, 2007 6:00 AM CDT Copied Detroit Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood keeps an eye on the puck during a Calgary Flames offensive surge in the second period of their NHL hockey game on Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2007 in Detroit.

The victory is all the more impressive considering Dominik Hasek was out with a bruised left knee and goalie Chris Osgood was playing his first game of the season. Mikael Samuelson clinched the game for the Wings in the third, firing a strike from the top of the circle on a power play. "We're off to a good start, but a good start is measured after 20 games," said coach Mike Babcock. "By winning, you earn the right to be confident."
