Thanks to Detroit's 4-3 overtime win in Colorado on Monday night, veteran goaltender Chris Osgood recorded the 400th victory of his 17 year NHL career that has seen him make two different stops in the motor city, as well as brief stints with the New York Islanders and St. Louis Blues. Osgood was sensational on the night, stopping 46 of the 49 pucks he faced, including all 23 Colorado threw his direction in the second period where the Avalanche held a 14-shot advantage. Defenseman Niklas Kronwall scored the winner in overtime to give Osgood the milestone, while Detroit also received goals from Nicklas Lidstrom, Johan Franzen and Jiri Hudler as it continues to find ways to win games despite the recent pile of injuries the team has experienced (Mike Modano, Pavel Datsyuk, Dan Cleary).
Now one of just 10 goaltenders to ever win 400 games in the NHL, joining a list that includes Martin Brodeur, Patrick Roy, Ed Belfour, Curtis Joseph, Terry Sawchuk, Jacques Plante, Tony Esposito, Glenn Hall and Grant Fuhr, the Hall of Fame debate will be picked up once again for Osgood.
