The Red Wings called up Jimmy Howard from their Grand Rapids AHL affiliate to back up Osgood.
Dan Ellis stopped 20 shots for his first career shutout, helping the Nashville Predators snap a six-game losing streak and beat the Atlanta Thrashers 3-0 Thursday night. Jordin Tootoo and Jerred Smithson scored for Nashville, which was one more loss from tying a franchise record. It was Ellis’ second NHL start, and first this season after Chris Mason got the first eight for Nashville.
With little attention being paid to the home team, Boston still came away with the victory. Phil Kessel scored two goals to lead the Bruins to a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night.
