Marian Hossa scored an early third-period goal Monday, giving the Detroit Red Wings a 2-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.

Johan Franzen scored the other goal for the Red Wings, who improved to 16-4-4 this season. Detroit goalie Chris Osgood needed only 15 saves for the win.

Detroit is in first place in the NHL Central Division and is five points behind San Jose for the top of the Western Conference.

Chris Kunitz scored the lone goal for the Ducks, whose four-game win streak was snapped. Anaheim’s Jean-Sebastien Giguere allowed for 38 shots through two periods but allowed only one goal before leaving the game. Jonas Hiller finished the game by one goal on nine shots over the final 20 minutes.
