Coach Mike Babcock said after tonight's game that Chris Osgood will start Monday's game against Colorado at Joe Louis Arena. Osgood sat the three games before tonight with Ty Conklin starting.

"I guarantee you, the type of competitor he is, he hasn't been excited to see the other goalie play three games in a row," said Babcock. "Not that he has anything against him, but he doesn't like to see that. We're always trying to get the competitive juices going. Ozzie's a competitor. He's a pro and he's one of the best goalies of all time. We need him to be the goalie he's capable of being and he will be."
