Calgary a Fitting Halloween Location for Red Wings

By AJ Petronzi
In Play Magazine

The Detroit Red Wings will play tonight against Calgary, a team that has a reputation for dirty play against Detroit over the last couple seasons. With Calgary Captain Jarome Iginla taking fire for a potentially dirty hit early this week, the Pengrowth Saddledome may prove to be the Red Wings' personal house of horrors.

The Wings will miss the services of Valtteri Filppula who will sit his first game after suffering a broken wrist on Thursday. Calgary forward Dustin Boyd missed practice today with the flu, but skated by himself after the Saddledome had cleared. It is not clear if he will play tonight.

The Flames will be looking to continue with the offensive production that has been the mark of their season. The Wings will be looking to continue their nearly 40 shots on goal average for the last three games. Chris Osgood will get the start tonight and will need to be good if the Wings want a shot making it back to .500.
