Game 69 Detroit Red Wings

Calgary_flames_gif_medium


vs. Redwings_medium
Arena: Saddledome Arena--Calgary, Alberta
Starting goalie: Miikka Kiprusoff Starting goalie: Jimmy Howard
  30-21-9, 2.22 GAA
  26-15-8, 2.35 GAA
SBN Blog: Matchsticks and Gasoline Last meeting: 4-2 Calgary win
Time:

9:30 p.m. ET

TV: FS-D, TSN

Detroit takes the ice looking to continue their recent success. Of the last 5 games the Wings have played, the only loss came to Calgary last Tuesday. Detroit sits one point ahead of Calgary heading into the game tonight and could make it 3 point lead to their advantage or a 1 point deficit. Three point games are bad for both teams in this situation so it should be a spirited game and effort.

The puck drops at 9:30 p.m. ET and the game will air on FS-D and TSN. Comment below and as always, GO WINGS!

He reached around the guy after the steal behind the net and just calmly poked the puck off his stick and then passed it up to himself.
