Red Wingsbeat Flames 3-1 for fifth straight win

The Detroit Red Wings secured their fifth consecutive victory with a 3-1 win over the Calgary Flames, improving their record to 26-21-5. Dylan Larkin scored his team-leading 23rd goal, while Simon Edvinsson and Andrew Copp added to the score, with Talbot making 33 saves in goal. Under coach Todd McLellan, the Red Wings have seen a remarkable turnaround, going 13-4-1 since his appointment. They remain just one point shy of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Calgary's Nazem Kadri scored a power-play goal, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Red Wings' strong defense. The Red Wings will continue their road trip with a game against Vancouver on Sunday.
