DETROIT -- Mikael Backlund and the Calgary Flames got their six-game road trip started in the best way possible.Backlund scored the tiebreaking goal with 7:46 left in the third period to give Calgary a 3-2 victory over the slumping Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night.This is huge, because were looking at these six games almost like a playoff series, said Flames defenseman Dougie Hamilton, who had three assists. We know we have to pick up some wins on this trip, and this is a good start.Garnet Hathaway got his first career goal and Matt Stajan also scored for Calgary. Chad Johnson stopped 21 shots.I thought this was a very even game, but we did a nice job of capitalizing on our chances, Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said. We didnt lose any momentum coming out of the Chicago game, where we played very well in a loss.Tomas Tatar and Anthony Mantha scored for Detroit, which lost its fourth straight game. Jimmy Howard made 23 saves.I think we gave them their chances. I think from the start, a few turnovers in our own end, all of a sudden they end up spending a minute, minute and a half in our end instead of making a simple play and move the play out to the neutral zone, Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said.Backlund broke a 2-all tie when he slammed Michael Froliks pass from the left circle past Howard and into the open side of the net for his second goal.We better pick ourselves up and we better come to work tomorrow to get better, Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said. And we better put the work in that it takes to earn confidence come Wednesday (at Buffalo). Thats the bottom line. We better pick ourselves up in a hurry and focus on coming to win a hockey game on Wednesday.Mantha tied it 2-all 7:59 into the third with his first of the season. He put a snap shot under the crossbar on the short side after bringing the puck out from behind the net.Stajan gave the Flames a 2-1 lead at 2:31 of the third with his first goal of the season. He tipped in Hamiltons slap shot from the right point.Hathaway tied it 1-all at 3:40 of the second. Hathaway, who was beside the net and battling with a Red Wings player, got the shaft of his stick on a high shot by Hamilton from the top of the right circle and deflected it into the empty side of the net.Thats an amazing feeling. I saw Fer (Micheal Ferland) get the puck to Dougie, so I went to the net, Hathaway said. It was an odd play, because Howard was still flailing around, so I wasnt sure if he had the puck or if it had gone in. Ill probably tell people that I sniped it -- that sounds a lot better. Weve still got five more road games, so it is big to get this one and get some momentum.Tatar gave Detroit a 1-0 lead 8:06 into the game. He blindly slid a puck toward the net from the high slot that beat Johnson. It was Tatars third goal and only his second in 14 games.Howard was forced to make a couple of saves in close after Red Wings giveaways deep in their zone.Detroit defenseman Alexey Marchenko left with an upper-body injury after taking a hit from Ferland with a little less than 5:30 left in the second period. Blashill said Marchenko will likely be out a little while and the team would have more information Monday.Game notes Detroit LW Thomas Vanek returned after missing 11 games with a hip injury. The Red Wings were 3-7-1 without Vanek and averaged under two goals per game. He had four goals and eight points in seven games. ... Calgary forward Johnny Gaudreau missed his second game after sustaining a broken finger on a slash by Minnesota C Eric Staal. Gaudreau will miss six to eight weeks. ... Red Wings C Darren Helm missed his second game after dislocating his shoulder. He also will be out six to eight weeks.UP NEXTFlames: Visit the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night.Red Wings: Visit the Sabres on Wednesday night. Fake Jordans .

The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night.Winnipeg Goldeyes third baseman Amos Ramon came to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning with the game on the line. There is no situation he loves more. Wednesday night in front of 5,064 at Shaw Park, Ramon came up with two out and Tyler Graham on second base and blasted a double into the left-centerfield gap. Graham scored easily with the game-winning run and the Goldeyes had a 5-4 win over the visiting Sioux City Explorers. "You play the game to be in those situations," Ramon said after the game. "I just love that situation. I came up thinking just be relaxed and dont try to do too much. Everybody wants to be the hero, its kind of why you play. It was great to get a double, but I would have taken a single, anything to win that ball game." With the win, the Goldeyes won their second straight game against the Xs and wrapped up the three-game series. The final game goes Thursday night at Shaw Park. The Goldeyes improved to 39-36 on the season and remained six games back of Gary in the Wild Card hunt. In addition to Ramons heroics in the bottom of the ninth, it was a tremendous comeback by the Goldeyes. Sioux City scored three runs in the first and added a run in the fourth to build a 4-1 lead with starting pitcher Andy Noga dealing. But after the Goldeyes scored their first run in the third on an RBI sacrifice fly ffrom Ray Sadler, the Fish continued to chip away.ddddddddddddA double by Casey Haerther scored Sadler with Winnipegs second run in the sixth and then a single by Ramon scored Kevin Moesquit ion the seventh to make it 4-3. After going down 1-2-3 in the eighth, the Goldeyes rallied in the ninth. Fehlandt Lentini led off with a double and then, with two out, Graham singled home Lentini with the tying run. Graham went to second on the throw to the plate and that brought up Ramon who hit a long, high fly ball to the base of the wall to easily score Graham with the winning run. "We chipped away, slowly but surely and had some real good ABs in the ninth inning," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. "Amos has been seeing the ball real well since we returned from the Eastern road trip and over the last two weeks hes been swinging it as well as anyone on the team. It was a good win for us." Goldeyes reliever Brendan Lafferty (3-2, 3.63 ERA) got the win in relief of starter Matt Rusch, while Jimmer Kennedy (4-4, 3.06 ERA) gave up two runs on three hits in the ninth to suffer the loss. The Goldeyes and Explorers will play the final game of this three-game series on Thursday night at 7 p.m. Jason Jarvis (5-8, 3.40 ERA) will get the start for Sioux City while Matt Jackson (1-0, 5.19 ERA) will head to the mound for Winnipeg.
