DETROIT, Nov. 27 (UPI) -- Kirk Maltby scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period and Luc Robitaille added an insurance tally as the Detroit Red Wings extended their latest unbeaten streak to eight games Tuesday night with a 4-2 triumph over the Calgary Flames.
Detroit is 12-2-1 at Joe Louis Arena this season, but one of those losses came against Calgary on October 10 in the Red Wings' home opener.
The Flames played the NHL's best team even for one period, but Maltby and Robitaille scored in the second as Detroit improved to 21-3-1-1.
Playing his 500th NHL game, Maltby snapped a 2-2 tie at 6:09. Goaltender Roman Turek stopped Brett Hull's point shot, but Maltby put in a backhander off the rebound for his third goal of the season.
Robitaille beat Turek with a one-timer from the edge of the right faceoff circle with 2:56 to go in the period for his 14th goal.
The 4-2 lead was more than enough for Dominik Hasek, who stopped all 12 shots over the final two periods and ended up with 19 saves.
Dean McAmmond had a goal and an assist for Calgary, which suffered its season-high third straight loss and completed a winless four-game road trip (0-3-1).
