UNDATED: round begins.
Flames 3, Red Wings 2
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) – Daymond Langkow scored twice, including the winner in the second period, as the Flames tied their playoff series 2-2.
Game 5 of the best-of-seven series will be Saturday in Detroit, with Game 6 back in Calgary on Sunday.
Craig Conroy also scored for Calgary and captain Jarome Iginla assisted on both of Langkow’s goals before a sellout crowd of 19,289.
Todd Bertuzzi and Johan Franzen replied for the Wings, who won the first two games at home before dropping the next two here. The Flames have to find a way to win in Detroit to pull off an upset of the top-seeded team in the Western Conference.
For the second straight game, Calgary’s special teams and goaltending were better than Detroit’s. The Flames scored two power-play goals on six chances while holding Detroit scoreless on six opportunities.
Calgary netminder Miikka Kiprusoff had to make tougher saves than Detroit’s Dominik Hasek and stopped 33 of 35 shots. Hasek turned away 18 of 21 shots.
