Yes, Calgary took care of business on Tuesday. But, this doesn't erase the fact that they were outshot 97-35 and outscored 7-2 in the two games prior. It was Calgary's first win in seven games and the first time they held an opponent to less than 3 goals over that span. We aren't going to overreact to that lone Flames victory. NHL road favorites off a road loss are 67-22 (75%) over the past decade when well rested (having played five or fewer games in the past two weeks). The Red Wings are 27-11 vs. winning teams in second-half play the past two seasons and we look for Detroit to take this one on the road.
