Detroit, MI – Jarome Iginla had two goals and one assist 1, to hand the Red Wings game losing streak in almost four years.
Lee Stempniak also scored for the Flames, while Miikka Kiprusoff had 28 saves to start a three-game road trip.
The Red Wings have won more games than any NHL franchise since the start of the 1997-98 season, so it's no surprise that six-game losing streaks are a rare occurrence.
This is their first since February 7-17, 2008 -- a season that ended with them winning the Stanley Cup.
Danny Cleary had Detroit's only goal on a power play in the second period and Jimmy Howard gave up three goals on 21 shots.
The Red Wings, who have been outscored 22-6 on their slide, dropped to 0-1-1 on a six-game homestand and had a five-game winning streak against Calgary snapped.
