You don’t get to make the schedule you just have to play the games as they lie. The Flames were in a situation where a win was needed while Ottawa was missing seemingly their entire starting lineup. There were still some good players on the ice (B. Tkachuk, Chabot, Norris, Zub) but it didn’t matter in the end. Calgary re-found what made them so competitive in the beginning in the second period and put the wheels down on the shorthanded Ottawa team. Missing players or not – felt good after what Ottawa did to Calgary in the North Division last season.
