Wings' win over Flames
DETROIT (AP) --- Patrick Kane scored twice for Detroit to move into sole
possession of fourth place on the all-time goals list for NHL players born in
the U.S. and lead the Red Wings to a 5-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on
Monday night.
Kane has 504 career goals, trailing Mike Modano (561), Keith Tkachuk (538) and
Jeremy Roenick (513). The 19th-year veteran entered the night tied with Joe
Mullen (502). Earlier this season, Kane passed Modano to become the
highest-scoring American-born player in league history. Kane now has 1,383
career points in 1,355 games.
Emmitt Finnie, Moritz Seider and Dominik Shine also scored and Alex DeBrincat
had three assists for the Red Wings, who started a four-game homestand by
stopping a three-game losing streak.
J.T. Compher added two assists and John Gibson made 25 saves for Detroit, which
moved into a tie with Montreal for third place in the Atlantic Division. The
Canadiens have two games in hand on the Red Wings, who currently occupy the
first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Morgan Frost scored late in the first period to put the Flames on the board
first, but Detroit scored three times in a span of 5:34 early in the second
period to take control. Kane had the first and third goals in that surge.
Matt Coronato added a goal and an assist and Dustin Wolf made 20 saves for
Calgary, which finished a five-game road trip through the Eastern Conference at
1-4. The Flames, who have the NHL's second-worst record ahead of only Pacific
Division rival Vancouver, are 2-7-1 in their last 10 games.
