Game 4:Redwings 4 Flames 2

In a must win game 4 against the Flames the Redwings came out on top with a 4-2 victory. The series is now tied 2-2 going back to the Joe. The Redwings finally looked like the game meant something. Almost everybody was laying out checks and skating hard. The Redwings got important goals from guys who normally don't score. Devereaux, Maltby, and Dandenault all lit the lamp. The Redwings had a scare in the second period when Martin Gelinas and Ville Nieminen scored for the Flames 18 seconds apart in the second period to tie the game at 2. But the Wings stormed back with a goal from Dandenault to take the lead once again. The Redwings closed out the game when they got a empty net goal from Henrik Zetterberg. Ray Whitney and Kris Draper had huge games adding two assists each. The Redwings now look to a critical game 5 back at the Joe. It is another must win game. If they lose they will be down 3-2 going back to Calgary.
