Nothing, nobody, is slowing down the Red Wings these days.

Dylan Larkin and Simon Edvinsson scored first-period goals and goaltender Cam Talbot made 33 saves leading the Wings to a fifth consecutive victory, 3-1, over Calgary.

The Wings moved to within one point of a playoff spot.

Larkin scored his 23rd goal at 8:27 of the first period. Christian Fischer found Larkin entering into the play and passed to Larkin, who snapped a shot past goalie Dustin Wolf. Dominik Shine earned his first NHL point on the play keeping the puck in the zone.

Edvinsson made it 2-0 with just 46 seconds left in the first period. Edvinsson skated to near the dot and beat Wolf for his fifth goal.

Andrew Copp's empty-net goal clinched it with 54 seconds remaining.

Talbot won his eighth decision in the last nine games. Talbot was at his best in the second period with Calgary pressing.

Calgary's Nazem Kadri finally solved Talbot in the third period with a power-play goal at 8:34.
