Saturday, January 19, 2019

(CALGARY, ALBERTA) – Led by Sam Bennett, it was long-awaited and much-needed big night for the Flames' secondary scorers. Bennett scored twice, including the go-ahead goal late in the third period, and added an assist to lead Calgary to a 6-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night. On the go-ahead goal at 16:06 on the power play, Bennett was sent in on a breakaway on a pass from Derek Ryan, and fired a quick shot inside the post on Jimmy Howard, before toppling over the Red Wings goaltender. Calgary finished 3 for 3 with the man advantage, with every goal coming from the second power-play unit, which hadn't produced a goal since Dec. 2. Over the last six games, the Flames are 8 for 14 with the extra man. Detroit finished 1 for 5 on the power play. Dylan Larkin had two goals for Detroit, while Anthony Mantha and Mike Green also scored for the Wings.
