Flames beat Red Wings 4-1 for third straight win
Joel Farabee had a goal and two assists while goaltender Devin Cooley made 28 saves as Calgary improved to 4-6-0 on the season.
The Calgary Flames defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 on Saturday at home, extending their winning streak to three games. Joel Farabee opened the scoring late in the first period and finished with a goal and two assists, giving him nine points in 10 games on a four-game points streak. Zayne Parekh, Ryan Strome and Matvei Gridin also scored for Calgary, while Matt Coronato added two assists.
Detroit's Andrew Copp tied the game early in the second period, poking a bouncing puck past goaltender Devin Cooley. Calgary responded with Parekh's power-play goal 21 seconds after a Detroit penalty, then pulled away with goals from Strome and Gridin less than 90 seconds apart later in the period.
Cooley, making his third straight start, stopped 28 shots to improve to 3-2 and has turned aside 100 of 104 shots during his three-game winning streak. Detroit's John Gibson took the loss, falling to 3-4-1, as the Red Wings suffered their first regulation loss in seven games and their first loss to Calgary since March 2022.
Calgary went 2-for-2 on the power play, improving to 6-for-12 over its last four games and lifting its season power-play rate to 32 per cent, third-best in the league. The Flames host the Toronto Maple Leafs next, while the Red Wings visit the Edmonton Oilers, both on Monday.
