Talbot and Larkin lead Red Wings past Flames 3-1 for 5th straight win

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Dylan Larkin scored his 23rd goal, Cam Talbot made 33 saves against his former team and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Calgary Flames 3-1 on Saturday night for their fifth consecutive victory.

Simon Edvinsson and Andrew Copp also scored for Detroit, which moved within one point of the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Todd McLellan improved to 13-4-1 since taking over as Red Wings coach on Dec. 26.

Nazem Kadri scored a power-play goal for the Flames, who are one point ahead of Vancouver for the second Western Conference wild card.

Talbot has won three straight decisions and nine of his last 10. He is 15-10-2 this season.

Starting for the 11th time in 13 games, rookie Dustin Wolf stopped 22 shots for Calgary but fell to 19-9-2.

Larkin and Edvinsson scored in the first period. Kadri cut it to 2-1 at 8:34 of the third before Copp sealed it with an empty-net goal in the final minute.

Red Wings: Dominik Shine, 31, assisted on Larkin’s goal for his first NHL point in his third career game. The undrafted Detroit native had been playing with Grand Rapids (AHL) since 2016-17.

Flames: New forwards Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee made their Calgary debuts after being acquired Thursday from Philadelphia. Neither hit the scoresheet for the Flames, who rank 28th in the NHL with 135 goals.

Last in the league on the penalty kill, Detroit gave up Kadri's power-play goal following the first penalty of the game. But when Kadri drew a second Red Wings penalty two minutes later, Detroit got the critical kill it needed to maintain a one-goal lead.

After going 15 games without a goal, Larkin has 11 in his last 16 games. He's on pace to score 36, which would eclipse his career high of 33 last season.

The Red Wings play at Vancouver on Sunday. The Flames visit the Seattle Kraken on Sunday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s motorcade took a different route than usual to the airport as he was departing Florida on Sunday due to a “suspicious object,” according to the White House.

The object, which the White House did not describe, was discovered during security sweeps in advance of Trump’s arrival at Palm Beach International Airport.

“A further investigation was warranted and the presidential motorcade route was adjusted accordingly,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Sunday.

The president, when asked about the package by reporters, said, “I know nothing about it.”

Trump left his Palm Beach, Florida, club, Mar-a-Lago, around 6:20 p.m. for the roughly 10-minute drive to the airport, but took a circular route around the city to get there.

During the drive, police officers on motorcycles created a moving blockade for the motorcade, at one point almost colliding with the vans that accompanied Trump.

Air Force One was parked on the opposite side of the airport from where it is usually located and the lights outside the plane were turned off.

Anthony Guglielmi, the spokesman for U.S. Secret Service, said the secondary route was taken just as a precaution and that “that is standard protocol.”
