Period Recalls Isles On Atlantic

Hockey Betting Lines

Johan Franzen provided the lone offense for the Red Wings, who have lost two in a row to end a five-game road trip.

 

Joey MacDonald made his first start since March 30 and absorbed the loss despite giving up just two goals on 22 shots.

 

Detroit peppered Smith with 11 shots in the third, but had no answer. MacDonald was pulled for an extra skater with over a minute remaining and Hanzal put the clincher into an empty net inside of 30 seconds to play.

 

Game Notes

 

"We really wanted these two points. It's really important for our team and I really wanted it," said Hiller.

 

Alex Tanguay and Jarome Iginla lit the lamp for the Flames, whose last victory over the Ducks in Anaheim came on January 19, 2004.

 

Iginla split Anaheim's defenseman while receiving a pass at the Ducks' blue line and raced in on a short breakaway, skating into the slot and sending a wrister past the stick side to knot the game at two at the 6:15 mark.

 

Early in the extra period, Anaheim's Teemu Selanne just missed the game-winner as he hit a post from the right circle after Kiprusoff lost track of the puck.

 

Iginla and Tanguay also failed to end the game when they came down the ice on a 2-on-1 rush, but Iginla missed the net as he lifted the puck too high over the crossbar.
