Flames are on a tare!
Points in two straight game despite the 4-3 shoot out loss to the Jets tonight.
The Flames tie it up with just over a minute to play and have the edge in overtime with a man advantage opportunity, but fall in the shoot out.
Calgary with goals from Jake Bean, Kevin Bahl and Matt Coronato.
Next up the Flames play in Chicago on Tuesday night.
They win again!
The Calgary Flames showed up ready for business tonight as they pretty much ran the show in all 60 minutes in a 2-0 win on Thursday night.
The victory snaps a three game losing streak for the 32nd ranked team.
Calgary got goals from Blake Coleman and Sam Honzek into the empty net.
Next up for the Flames is the Jets in town on Saturday night.
Another gutsy effort by the Flames in an entertaining hockey game that featured some solid efforts from some of the Flame’s developing players.
They spot the Blues a 3-0 lead in the first half of the game, score twice late in the second within 25 seconds to make the third period interesting, but come up empty looking for the game tying goal.
At least they snapped their goalless streak at 157 minutes, so there is that.
Calgary drops their third straight game, and both games on the quick two game road trip.
They return to play the Sharks on Thursday night at the Dome.
Two straight home games with 5-1 victories.
Two straight wins overall, for the first time this season as the Flames turn back the Jackets on Saddledome ice.
But don’t be fooled; this wasn’t a dominant Flames victory as much as it was a timely goal and expertly played contest by their number one goaltender Dustin Wolf.
The game was about Nazek Kadri, of course, who played in games 1000, and was awarded the silver stick before the game. He didn’t disappoint scoring on a two on one in the second period.
Flames host the Hawks on Friday night to see if they can stretch their only win streak of the season to three.
Not the most exciting of hockey games, in fact it was downright boring.
But I doubt very much that the Flames care, as they snapped a three game losing streak and found a silver lining on the four game trip with a 2-1 in Philadelphia on Sunday night.
Jonathan Huberdeau scored both Calgary goals, and Dustin Wolf picked up the win, losing his shut out with just six minutes to play.
The Flames fly home to play the Jackets on Wednesday night.
