REAL DEAL JAMES NEAL. While he didn’t get a goal, James Neal managed to get a point today in the Calgary Flames‘ win over the Minnesota Wild. There was some line juggling in the third period where Neal was put on the second line and it paid off as he fed a puck over to Matthew Tkachuk for the go-ahead goal for the 2-1 lead. This was Neal’s first point in seven games and the Flames seventh win in eight games.
Flames fans weren’t all that pleased with Bill Peters when he decided to dress Dalton Prout as the seventh defenceman and only go with 11 forwards for today, sitting Austin Czarnik out.
