Redwings 1 Calgary 2 ot.

Well the Flames stole home-ice advantage from the Wings by beating them 2-1 in overtime. The Redwings outshot the Flames but they still couldn't pull out the win. The Wings took a 1-0 lead when Robert Lang scored a highlight goal on Miikka Kiprusoff. The Flames battled back and got a goal from Robyn Regehr late in the second period. Neither team scored in the third period and the game went into overtime. Just 2 min 39 seconds into the overtime period the Flames got a goal from Marcus Nilson. This was the Flames' gameplan all along. Keep the game close and try and win it at the end, that's exactly what they did. Game 2 is Saturday at the Joe.
Notes-The Flames lead the series 1-0....Regehr's and Nilson's playoff goals were the first of their careers....Lang's goal was his third of this year's playoffs....Jarome Iginla was held to just 2 shots....Kiprusoff made 28 saves...Brendan Shanahan and Derian Hatcher assisted on Lang's goal....The Wings hadn't played the Flames in the playoffs since 1978....
