Calgary, AB (Sports Network) - Chris Osgood made 20 saves, and Tomas Holmstrom's team-leading seventh goal of the season proved to be the game- winner, as Detroit closed out a five-game road trip with a 3-1 win over Calgary at Pengrowth Saddledome.

Brad Stuart and Kirk Maltby also scored for the Red Wings, who posted a 2-1-2 record during their trek.

Daymond Langkow provided the lone tally for the Flames, who wrapped up a five- game residency with a 3-2-0 mark. Miikka Kiprusoff allowed two goals on 29 shots in defeat.

After a scoreless first period, Langkow opened the scoring with 5:17 remaining in the middle stanza. Stuart tied the game 25 seconds later and Detroit moved ahead 59 seconds later on Holmstrom's marker.

"It was a tight game. We got the lead, and the next two or three shifts we made mistakes," said Flames head coach Brent Sutter. "We didn't generate a whole lot offensively. We never put enough pucks towards the net. We still want to make the perfect plays in the offensive zone."

Maltby cemented the win with an empty-net tally in the final minute of regulation.
