THE Calgary flames (25-18-7) Play their last home game of the week, welcoming the Red Wings of Detroit (25-21-3) to the Saddledome of the Scotia-Bank.
Tonight is the second and last meeting of the season between these two clubs, Calgary hoping to avenge a defeat of 2-1 in extension of November 27 at Little Caesars Arena.
The flames were 6-4-0 in their last ten games, beating the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Red Wings enter the 6-3-1 competition, on a sequence of three victories, more recently defeating the EDMONTON 3-2 Oilers during a shooting.
Between the pipes
They often say that if it is not broken, do not repair it, it is therefore not surprising that Dustin Wolf begins another departure from the Saddledome, winning his fourth consecutive departure. It is 2-1-0 in the last three games with .899 SV%.
After being appointed recruit of the NHL month for January, Wolf is looking for his 14th victory on ice ice at home while his pursuit for 20 victories in a single season at the Saddledome continues.
Meanwhile, Detroit has exploited the former goalkeeper of Flames Cam Talbot to start. During his first season at Motor City, the 37-year-old has a 14-10-2 sheet with two whitening. He is on a sequence of three -game victories with an impressive .951 SV%.
Talbot has a 12-6-0 sheet in 19 games against Calgary during his career, producing a GAA of 2.42 and .919 SV% with two whitening.
