Red Wings and Flames Face Goaltending Woes as Battle for Playoff Spot Intensifies

Both teams have faced recent challenges, with the Red Wings losing both games during their Western Canada swing and conceding a total of twelve goals. Currently, Detroit is vying for the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference but must address their goaltending issues. Calgary has rotated between Markstrom, Dan Vladar, and Wolf in the net this season, with none performing consistently. Markstrom's underwhelming performance compared to last season has contributed to the Flames' current position outside the playoff picture. Given the struggles of both teams, the advantage may lean towards the visitors who can capitalize on scoring opportunities.
