Flames vs Red Wings: Final East Coast Showdown

For the Calgary Flames, it's March 16th, here's what's happening.

The Calgary Flames faced a Detroit Red Wings tonight in the final game of their East Coast

Road Trip.

The Flames sit at 26 wins, 33 losses, and 7 overtime losses for 59 points while the

Red Wings boasts 36 wins, 23 losses, and 8 overtime losses with 80 points.

Detroit looks playoff bound, but Calgary hopes for a strong 60 minute effort to end the

trip on a high note.

The fan.

The Flames grabbed one win in their last four games out East and have been scrappy

but shorthanded lately.

They're missing key players like Nazim Kadri and Mackenzie Weigar, who now play elsewhere,

along with others such as Sam Hangek, Jake Bean, Jonathan, Hubert O, and Yan Kuznetsov.

Dustin Wolf is expected to start a net with the team leaning on young lines featured

in guys like Conner's Erie and Matt Coronado.

Meanwhile, the Red Wings just wrapped a mixed four game road trip with one shout out win

and three losses.

They're eager to build momentum against a lower ranked Flamesquad as the season winds

down.

John Gibson should be in goal for Detroit, backed by Cam Talbot, with stars like Patrick

Kane and Lucas Raymond leading the attack.

Both teams have their challenges on special teams.

Calgary ranks near the bottom with a 15.8% power play and sits 11th on the penalty kill

at 80.7%.

Detroit edges them out overall, ranking 14th on the power play at 21.8% and 20th on the

kill.

The Flames have struggled in night games lately, going two wins, six losses, and one tie

in their last nine.

This marks the second and final hit-to-head matchup the season after Calgary's home

lost to Detroit back in December.

With the Flames rebuilding and the Wings pushing for playoffs, expect the motivated effort

from both sides and what could be a tight contest.
