Event – Detroit Red Wings at Calgary Flames
Time & Date – 7:30 pm, Monday, March 15th, 2010
Venue – Pengrowth Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta
Detroit heads to Calgary for the fourth and final game of the season series, and is determined to tie things up. The Red Wings started off with an October 31st 3-1 win in Alberta, but then lost control at home. The November 27th meeting in Michigan ended in a 3-0 shutout loss, and the March 9th meeting in Michigan ended in a 4-2 loss. Last season they finished at par with the Flames, each team winning once at home and once away. We’ll soon see if Detroit can even the score on Monday, or if Calgary will prove superior this year.
Established in 1926 as the Detroit Cougars of the NHL, renamed the Falcons four years later, and settling in as the Red Wings two years after that, the visiting team won its 18th division title last year, its 6th conference title also last year, and its 11th league title in 2008. The Detroit Red Wings have advanced to postseason play 57 times including one appearance as the Cougars and one appearance as the Falcons. Their latest playoff berth resulted in an unsuccessful seven-game run against the Pittsburgh Penguins in last year’s finals.
Established in 1972 as the Atlanta Flames of the NHL and relocated to Calgary eight years later, the home team won its 5th division title in 2006, its 3rd conference title in 2004, and its 1st league title in 1989. The Calgary Flames have advanced to postseason play 26 times including six appearances out of Atlanta. Their latest playoff berth resulted in a six-game run against the Chicago Blackhawks in last year’s conference quarterfinals.
