Red Wings off to good start after break vs. Calgary, 3-1

Jiri Hudler scored the go-ahead goal at 11:29 of the third period as the Detroit Red Wings got contributions from its third & fourth lines in a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames.

Jimmy Howard made 28 saves for his NHL-leading 31st victory. It was a solid bounce-back outing for Howard, who was pulled after the first period in his last game before the All-Star break after surrendering four goals to Montreal on 12 shots.

Detroit and Calgary are now even at two in their their four-game season series.

And the road to the playoffs will be a fight to the finish as Detroit's Mike Commodore and Calgary's Tim Jackman displyed during the game when both men landed a few punches on each other.
