The Detroit Red Wings will collide with the Calgary Flames on Saturday night in a cross-conference matchup that will see the Red Wings look to build on a four-game win streak.
Since a 2-1 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Jan. 23, Detroit has been on a tear, picking up wins over Montreal, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles and most recently, Edmonton. On the flip side, Calgary is heading into tonight's game after a 4-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks, which snapped a two-game losing streak.
Currently, the Red Wings are in sixth place in the Atlantic Division with a record of 25-21-5, one point behind the fifth-place Bruins and two points behind the fourth-place Lightning. Meanwhile, the Flames are in fourth place in the Pacific Division, just one point behind the third-place LA Kings, with six wins in their last 10 games.
