Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Hal Gill (2) falls on top of Detroit Red Wings winger Mikael Samuelsson (37) of Sweden during third period hockey action in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals in Detroit, Saturday, May 24, 2008.<br /><br />

It's no surprise the Detroit Red Wings have a Swede to thank for a prime-time performance, but Mikael Samuelsson?

The demoted forward busted out of a slump with two goals, and Chris Osgood stifled the Pittsburgh Penguins' young and talented stable of forwards with 19 saves to lift the Red Wings to a 4-0 victory in the opening game of the Stanley Cup finals on Saturday night.
