Dylan Larkin's 23rd goal and Cam Talbot's 33 saves propelled the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, marking their fifth consecutive win. Alongside Larkin, Simon Edvinsson and Andrew Copp, who sealed the game with an empty-net goal, contributed to the scoring for Detroit, now just one point shy of a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, Nazem Kadri's effort for Calgary keeps the Flames in playoff contention, just one point above the Vancouver Canucks.

Talbot continues his strong performance, winning three straight and nine of his last ten games, while rookie Dustin Wolf is struggling, losing his last two starts. Notably, Dominik Shine made his NHL debut and recorded his first point with an assist on Larkin's goal, becoming the oldest Red Wings player to debut in the NHL since 1977. As both teams prepare for upcoming games, the Red Wings look to maintain their momentum against the Vancouver Canucks while the Flames seek to rectify their offensive issues against the Seattle Kraken.
