Zetterberg, Wings beat slumping Kings


Henrik Zetterberg had a goal and two assists and the Detroit Red Wings beat Los Angeles 4-1 on Sunday night, sending the Kings to their fifth consecutive loss.

The Red Wings scored two goals each in the second and third periods against Jonathan Bernier, the Kings' 19-year-old rookie.

Detroit backup Chris Osgood made 27 saves in his 600th NHL start, and second of the season.

Leading by a goal in the third, the Red Wings scored goals less than 2 minutes apart to take a 4-1 lead. Tomas Holmstrom scored from the left side at 5:39 on a pass from Zetterberg, who followed with his fourth goal of the season.

Zetterberg stole the puck while surrounded by three defenders, skated behind the net and went top-shelf on Bernier at 7:21. The Red Wings are 2-0 on the road, having won at Chicago in overtime.

Michael Cammalleri, the Kings' leading scorer, prevented the shutout with a power-play goal at 1:44 of the third.

Kris Draper's boarding penalty carried over from the second period, then Andreas Lilja went off for high-sticking, giving Los Angeles a 5-on-3, which Cammalleri converted with a slap shot from the left circle.

After a scoreless first, Detroit got goals from Pavel Datsyuk and Draper in the second.

Datsyuk's shot went through Bernier's legs and dribbled across the goal line as the rookie reached back with his left glove in a futile attempt at the puck. Zetterberg assisted 40 seconds into the period.

Draper scored on a short-handed backhander at 3:06.

Bernier stopped 26 shots on the 40th anniversary of the Kings' first game. They have just one win so far, beating the Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks in the season-opener in London.

Notes:@ The Kings beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-2 on Oct. 14, 1967, at Long Beach Arena in the club's first game. ... The Red Wings opened a four-game West Coast swing, with Anaheim next on Monday night.
