Calgary's offensive explosion in the second period doomed Detroit on Saturday, Oct. 24, at Scotiabank Saddledome. Goalie John Gibson faced 10 shots in that period alone and allowed three goals as the Flames pulled away to a 4-1 victory. The loss ended Detroit's six-game point streak and dropped the Red Wings to 4-4-3.
Detroit tied the game early in the second when Andrew Copp scored on a hustle play involving J.T. Compher just over two minutes in. The lead lasted only six minutes before Zayne Parekh scored on the power play. Ryan Strome and Matvei Gridin each added goals within 90 seconds of each other to seal the Flames' victory.
The Red Wings finish their Western Conference road trip Monday in Edmonton at 9:30 p.m. against the Oilers. Detroit returns home Thursday to face the Chicago Blackhawks, followed by an afternoon game against St. Louis on Halloween.
