The Calgary Flames are a confident bunch these days. Even in games where they’re not sharp for the entire time, they’ve got good enough goaltending, structured enough defensive play and potent enough scorers that they can take games over.
That’s exactly what happened on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Flames weren’t perfect, but they ended up with a pretty good result in a 6-2 victory over Columbus.
The rundown
The first period was pretty even, with both clubs getting their looks and both teams fighting the puck a little bit, too. The Flames opened the scoring a couple minutes into the game.
