Flames Beat the Red Wings 4-1 for Their 3rd Straight Victory – WTOP News
Farabee had a goal and two assists, and Calgary went 2-for-2 on the power play to extend its winning streak to three games, officials said.
On Saturday, the Calgary Flames defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 at the Scotiabank Saddledome, snapping Detroit's eight-game winning streak in the series. Joel Farabee led the Flames with a goal and two assists.
Calgary struggled early with a 0-5-0 start but has won four of its last five games, driven by a surging power play operating at 32 percent this season. The turnaround marks a dramatic shift from early-season despair.
Goaltender Devin Cooley made 28 saves for the Flames, while Zayne Parekh and Matvei Gridin scored power-play goals in the 4-1 win. Andrew Copp provided Detroit's lone goal.
Following Saturday's loss, the Red Wings visit the Edmonton Oilers on Monday, while the Flames host the Toronto Maple Leafs the same day to complete their homestand sweep.
Detroit's penalty kill has surrendered six power-play goals on 15 chances over four games, while Calgary coach Ryan Huska credits success to a "positionless" strategy relying on quick puck movement. The tactical contrast shapes the series outlook.
