DETROIT – Kris Draper’s goal late in the second period broke a tie and lifted the Detroit Red Wings to a 4-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

Henrik Zetterberg, Tomas Holmstrom, and Mikael Samuelsson also scored for Detroit, and Pavel Datsyuk had two assists.

Chris Osgood made 19 saves for the Red Wings.

Kristian Huselius scored both of Calgary’s goals, and Mike Kiprusoff stopped 24 shots.

Draper broke a 2-all tie with 3:01 left in the second period when he tipped in Andrea’s Lila’s shot from the point for his second goal.

Samuelsson added a power-play goal with 4:24 left in the third period.

Zetterberg scored the game’s first goal 8:08 into the first period on a power play. He converted Datsyuk’s cross-crease pass after Datsyuk intercepted a bad clearing attempt by Kiprusoff.

Huselius tied it with 6:21 left in the opening period. Off a 2-on-1 rush, he stepped around Brett Lebda, made a move, and put a backhand shot high into the net.

Holmstrom’s fourth goal in four games gave Detroit a 2-1 lead 3:01 into the second period, when he put in a loose puck from just outside the crease. That tied Holmstrom’s career high goal streak.

Huselius’ second goal of the game tied the game at 2, 6:25 into the second period. He intercepted Niklas Kronwall’s pass, skated in and beat Osgood with a backhand shot.

Note: Detroit G Dominik Hasek didn’t play because of a bruised knee cap. … Calgary LW David Moss is from the Detroit suburb of Livonia and played his college hockey at Michigan.
