Flames move past Red Wings

Share

DETROIT —Jarome Iginla and Rene Bourque scored 1:31 apart in the third period, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 4-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.

The Flames moved into eighth place in the Western Conference and pushed Detroit to ninth.

The Red Wings have qualified for the playoffs in 18 straight seasons — the longest streak in sports — and earned home-ice advantage in at least one round 17 consecutive times. Those streaks are now in danger.

Calgary’s Daymond Langkow scored 5:18 into the second after a scoreless first. Pavel Datsyuk scored midway through the period to tie it, and Tomas Holmstrom had a power-play goal late in the period to put Detroit ahead.

Christopher Higgins added an empty-net goal in the final minute.

Calgary’s Miikka Kiprusoff and Detroit’s Jimmy Howard each made 28 saves.
