CHICAGO (AP) - Kyle Calder got comfortable quickly with the Detroit Red Wings.
Calder had a goal and assist in Detroit's 4-1 victory over the Blackhawks on Tuesday night, 24 hours after being acquired in a three-way trade. Tomas Holmstrom scored two goals and Dominik Hasek made 24 saves for the Red Wings, 10-2-2 in their last 14 games. Calder's linemate, Johan Franzen also had a goal and an assist for the Red Wings, who improved to 5-0-0 against Chicago this season and 11-1-1 against the Blackhawks over the past two years.
Calder scored on his first shift, 1:46 into the game, to give Detroit a 1-0 lead.
"It was a good way to start, definitely the way I wanted it." Calder said. "It's nice to get it out of the way.
"You just keep working hard and that what you get, success."
