The Calgary Flames welcomed the Colorado Avalanche to town on Tuesday night in a highly-anticipated clash of division leaders. Both teams were buttoned-up at five-on-five for the most part, but the Avalanche made slightly more hay on the power play than the Flames did.
The Flames dropped a tight 2-1 loss to the Avalanche in a game where neither team scored at even strength.
The rundown
The opening 20 minutes were low-scoring and low-event, but both were more of a product of both teams trying to sit back and see if the other team would make a mistake.
