Two power-play goals and a strong finish
Gridin then scored on another power play, assisted by Farabee and Coronato, to make it 4-1 with 1:30 left in the period. Detroit could not find another goal in the third. Farabee finished with a goal and two assists, while Gridin recorded a goal and an assist. [1] [3]
Devin Cooley turned aside 28 shots for Calgary, which held Detroit to one goal despite the Red Wings putting 29 shots on net. The Flames scored twice on the power play; Detroit went scoreless with the man advantage. Calgary’s official highlights also showed Farabee’s opening goal, his second in as many games. [1] [3]
A timely result for Calgary
The victory gave Calgary consecutive wins for the first time this season and improved the Flames to 4-6-0. Detroit fell to 4-4-3. Both clubs had been seeking momentum after slow starts: Calgary opened the season with five straight losses, while Detroit had earned points in six consecutive games before this road trip. [1] [2]
Calgary’s next challenge is a home game against Toronto on Oct. 26. The Red Wings will need to regroup after an unusually quiet offensive night against Cooley and a Flames penalty kill that erased each Detroit power play. [1] [2]
