Last night in Detroit, Huet was keeping the Hawks in the game with save after save but it was not enough as the Red Wings won 2-1 in O.T with a goal from Helm. Now the Red Wings next task will be the team they beat in the Final last year the Pittsburgh Penguins. The big story will be going into this final will be Hossa facing his old team."It's a unique situation right now, definitely this doesn't happen often," Hossa said.

"I try to make the best of the situation for myself and try to help the team win a Cup."The Red Wings are matching up with Pittsburgh in what is the NHL's first Stanley Cup rematch since the 1984 Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the New York Islanders."To have the opportunity against Pittsburgh should be a lot of fun," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said.
