Go figure.
For weeks the Flames have been running up shot volume and outplaying teams, but coming up short … usually due to a lack of finish.
So yeah on a night where the team wasn’t very sharp, were out shot, and didn’t generate a whole lot they put up four on the tired New York Islanders, winning the hockey game 4-1 and securing a big two points before heading out on a five game road trip.
The win allowed the Flames to once again leap frog the Oilers and into the first wild card spot.
Goals by Milan Lucic, Blake Coleman, Nikita Zadorov and Nazem Kadri in a game where their best player was their goaltender.
Next up Chicago on Sunday night.
