DETROIT – Anthony Mantha and Andreas Athanasiou each scored twice as the Detroit Red Wings routed the Calgary Flames 8-2 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Gustav Nyquist, Dylan Larkin, Justin Abdelkader and Luke Glendening also scored for the Red Wings, who raced out to a 4-1 lead in the first period.<\/p>\n

Micheal Ferland and Johnny Gaudreau had the goals for the Flames in the opener of a six-game road trip.<\/p>\n

Athanasiou opened the scoring when his cross-crease pass was deflected by Flames defenceman T.J. Brodie through the legs of Calgary goalie Eddie Lack just 5:35 into the game.<\/p>\n

Nyquist made it 2-0 only 1:50 later with his sixth of the season. He didn’t get his sixth goal last season until Jan. 14.<\/p>\n

The Flames scored on the power play when Ferland jammed the puck under the right pad of Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard. But the Red Wings regained their two-goal advantage on a power play of their own when Mantha put his own rebound behind Lack.<\/p>\n

Before the period was over, Larkin scored Detroit’s fourth short-handed goal of the season, tying the Red Wings for the NHL lead.<\/p>\n

Lack, making his second start of the season in place of injured Mike Smith, was chased to the bench in favour of Jon Gillies when Mantha made it 5-1 with a power-play goal 4:27 into the second.<\/p>\n

Gaudreau got one back for the Flames, but Abdelkader made it 6-2 in the final minute of the period.<\/p>\n

Athanasiou and Glendening completed the scoring with goals in the third.<\/p>\n

NOTES: Detroit D Trevor Daley left in the second period with an upper-body injury… A third-period fight between Detroit’s Luke Witkowski and Calgary’s Brett Kulak turned into a full-fledged line brawl. Witkowski was assessed a game misconduct for returning to the ice to rejoin the fray. … Wearing a protective facemask, Abdelkader (broken cheekbone) returned to action after missing one game.<\/p>\n
