The Red Wings came into the game flying high after winning in overtime against Vancouver and looked to climb another two points closer to hopefully clawing their way back into the playoff discussion. What they got instead was a bad sheet of ice mixed with a bad case of turnoveritis. An extremely late goal by Tomas Tatar earned them a point but they were not able to finish their second straight overtime game with a win despite an extremely entertaining extra session.
First Period
The Red Wings came out early and set the tone for the period by turning the puck over in their own zone and giving Calgary a dangerous chance that Petr Mrazek had to be sharp on less than 30 seconds into the game.
