Lucas Raymond scores in OT as Red Wings beat Flames 2-1
Lucas Raymond scored a power-play goal at 3:35 of overtime and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Wednesday night.
Alex DeBrincat scored a first-period power-play goal and also assisted on Raymond’s game-winner for Detroit. Cam Talbot made 24 saves in the Red Wings’ third victory in four games.
Connor Zary’s power-play goal with 2:48 remaining tied the score and Dan Vladar made 25 saves for Calgary, which has lost two straight following a four-game winning streak.
In the extra period, Raymond skated into the slot and snapped a shot past Vladar as the Red Wings beat the Flames for the fifth straight time.
Detroit forward Patrick Kane missed his second consecutive game with an upper-body injury.
Takeaways
Flames: Calgary went 1 for 4 on the power play to move to 6 for 15 over the last four games. They only had two shots on goal during the first three power plays, before managing three during the fourth one — capped by Zary's goal.
Red Wings: The defence has been much tighter since allowing 15 goals during three losses on a West Coast trip. The Red Wings have only allowed six goals over the last four games.
Key moment
The game appeared headed to a shootout until Calgary was penalized with 1:54 left in overtime for having too many men on the ice. Raymond then took advantage with a goal in his fourth straight game.
Key stat
DeBrincat now has 10 goals and 17 points in 17 career games against the Flames.
