Red Wings cruise past floundering Flames, 5-0

red wings

Patrick Kane and Lucas Raymond both collected one goal and one assist, and goaltender James Reimer posted his second shutout of the season as the visiting Detroit Red Wings beat the Calgary Flames 5-0 Saturday afternoon.

Reimer, who is third on Detroit’s depth chart, stopped 38 shots to post his 30th career shutout.

J.T. Compher, Dylan Larkin and David Perron also scored for the Red Wings, who snapped a two-game losing skid. Moritz Seider collected two assists.

Flames starting goalie Jacob Markstrom was pulled after surrendering four goals on 12 shots en route to Calgary’s third consecutive loss. Dan Vladar made eight saves in relief.

Despite the Flames being the better team from the drop of the puck, the Red Wings vaulted to a 2-0 lead with a pair of goals 61 seconds apart late in the opening frame. Kane’s power-play goal opened the scoring at the 14:56 mark. A faceoff win led to a one-timer set up for Kane at point and he blasted a one-timer for his ninth of the season.

Compher doubled the score when Raymond stole the puck from Andrei Kuzmenko and fed a pass that Compher converted for his 13th of the campaign.

Larkin netted Detroit’s second man-advantage marker at 5:12 of the second period. He was set up at the edge of the crease and had a simple redirect set up by Kane for his 24th goal.

Perron made it a 4-0 game 89 seconds later with a slap shot from the slot for his 12th tally and spelled the end for Markstrom.

Raymond rounded out the scoring with his 15th of the season with 4:20 remaining.

Calgary’s power play was blanked on its five opportunities.

The Flames now have just one win in seven home games and have fallen further from a playoff position with trade rumors surrounding them becoming louder and louder.
