Dominik Hasek is back from missing two games with the flu. He has also had a sore back and a hip flexor ... twice ... this season. It all adds up that Hasek will likely finish the season with 40 games played compared with 43 for Chris Osgood.
In that light, coach Mike Babcock's comments about Hasek after Sunday's win are fitting.
"We're real fortunate. He's been freshened right up. He's had as much time off as any goalie's ever had. So now, that suits us perfect."
