For a Chicago Blackhawks team that has struggled defensively the Calgary Flames were not able to get a large number of high danger chances. Neutral zone play and breaking out of their own zone are areas that Calgary has really shored up since the start of the second period against the ‘Yotes. They scored enough to win and had their goaltender make some key saves to get the victory – the division title is within grasp if they keep this up.
CF% – 58.01%, SCF% – 52.76%, HDCF% – 65.67%, xGF% – 62.99%
It’s a Team Game – The criticism above was the number of high danger chances, but all across the boards Calgary did better than the Blackhawks.
