    On Saturday night, the Calgary Flames face off against an Original Six team as the Detroit Red Wings visit the Scotiabank Saddledome.

    The Calgary Flames (25-18-7) play their final home game of the week, welcoming the Detroit Red Wings (25-21-3) to the Scotiabank Saddledome.

    Tonight is the second and final meeting of the season between these two clubs, with Calgary hoping to avenge a 2-1 overtime loss from November 27 at Little Caesars Arena.

    The Flames have been 6-4-0 in their last ten games, defeating the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Red Wings come into the contest 6-3-1, riding a three-win streak, most recently defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 in a shootout.

    They often say if it's not broken, don't fix it, so it's no surprise that Dustin Wolf is getting another start at the Saddledome, earning his fourth consecutive start. He's 2-1-0 in the past three games with .899 SV%.  

    After being named the NHL's Rookie of the Month for January, Wolf is looking for his 14th win on home ice as his chase for 20 wins in a single season at the Saddledome continues.

    Meanwhile, Detroit has tapped former Flames netminder Cam Talbot to start. In his first season in the Motor City, the 37-year-old is 14-10-2 with two shutouts. He's on a three-game win streak with an impressive .951 SV%.

    Talbot is 12-6-0 in 19 games against Calgary in his career, producing a 2.42 GAA and .919 SV% with two shutouts.
