commentary...

Red Wings wore down Calgary in third period,and scored two goals midway through period,to win game,3-1... the Flames have had trouble scoring goals recently,and even though it was a physical game,Jimmy Howard was very good in goal,for his 31st win of season,and even though Calgary scored a goal,they did very little,in their offensive zone(Red Wings' defensive zone)around Howard,and the Red Wings' defense was superb,but the ice was choppy,and was not good ice to skate on,because both teams over-skated the puck throughout the game... the Red Wings have won eight of their last nine games,and lead NHL,with 34 wins...
