The Calgary Flames ended their 5-game Eastern Road Trip on a sour note, dropping a 5-to-2

decision to the Detroit Redwings.

They jumped out to an early lead in the first period, but faltered with defensive lapses

later on.

Morgan Frost scored first for Calgary on a nice setup from Motveg-Gridden, putting the

Flames up one nothing.

Shots were tight at that point.

Even for Detroit and 8 for the Flames.

Things unraveled in the second period as the Redwings pounced.

Patrick Cain tied it on a breakaway, then Detroit added three more quick goals from Emmett

Finney, Cain again, and Mord Cider on the power play.

Matt Cornado clawed one back off a rush to make it 4-2.

The third period saw Calgary push hard, but Detroit managed the game well and sealed it

with an inti-net goal from Dominic Shine.

Final shots favored the Wings, 12-10 in the middle frame, and 7-5 late.

Fans pointed to Flames' coverage errors leaving passing lanes open while crediting Detroit's

sharp plays.

Cornado stood out with his first goal in 15 games.

The Flames head home to face the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night at the Saddle Dome.
