Game notes: The Red Wings squashed the Flames, 2-1, in Detroit one week ago, but the Flames will have a big rest advantage, having last played Monday and losing 4-3 in overtime to Ottawa. The Red Wings played in Edmonton on Wednesday night, going all the way to a shootout — and five shooters — before upsetting the Oilers, 5-4. The Flames have a balanced attack, led by Tyler Toffoli (22 goals) and Nazem Kadri (20), and Elias Lindholm has a team-best 48 points (15 goals). Calgary is in the wild-card hunt competing with Minnesota for the final spot. ... The Kraken await the Red Wings on Saturday in Seattle.
