Detroit Red Wings Report: Red Wings 2 Calgary 1
Posted by Joe in Detroit Red Wings Hockey on March 16th, 2010
The Red Wings just put some life back into a season of disappointments. The Wings took over sole possesion of the 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference with a win 2-1 win over the Calgary Flames.
This was just a huge, much needed win for the Wings. Tomas Holmstrom deflected a Johan Franzen Slapshot with 1:19 to go in the third period after a key penalty kill to seal the win for Detroit. It was Holmstrom’s 20th goal in a season where he’s battled through injuries.
Jimmy Howard played well again stopping 23 shots and allowing just one goal. Pavel Datsyuk also added a goal to continue playing his part in the Red Wings Playoff Push.
Is there a possible showdown looming with the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs? The Blackhawks have been scuffling a bit recently and are doing a lot of whining about a an Alex Ovechkin hit on Defensman Brian Campbell that resulted in a Campbell broken collar bone.

The Wings looked strong tonight against the first place San Jose Sharks, but Marian Hossa left the game with an undisclosed injury. He scored a goal, and leads the team with an impressive 34 goals. Ty Conklin looked strong in net as he continues to put pressure on Chris Osgood, who will start in goal this Friday. The Red Wings did not announce the details of the injury yet, and I’ll post as soon as I find out. Let hope for the best; Hossa’s been very strong this year and looks like the stud player we thought he was going to be.
