After making a significant trade addition a little earlier, the Calgary Flames played a game on Wednesday night. The Flames hosted the New Jersey Devils, who were playing their second game in as many nights. The Devils were full marks for effort on this occasion, but they were simply out-gunned by a much deeper Flames team.
The Flames skated to a 6-3 home victory over the Devils.
The rundown
The Flames opened the scoring in the first period off a nice bit of cycle play from the new-look fourth line. Some nice passing across the zone from Oliver Kylington and Dillon Dube set up Brett Ritchie for a shot from the top of the circles with Milan Lucic (and Devils defender Ryan Graves) screening Devils netminder Nico Daws.
