The Calgary Flames played well enough to win on Wednesday night against Vegas, but they didn’t play a complete game. Their goaltender was their best player. On Thursday night, the recipe was a little different but the dish turned out to be quite similar. The Flames didn’t play a complete game, but they played well enough to win against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Powered by a four goal outburst in the second period, the Flames beat the Leafs by a 5-2 score. It’s their fifth win in a row and eighth over their past 10 games.
The rundown
The Leafs were full of pep and energy early on, likely partially fuelled by rest and partially fuelled by the large contingent of loud Leafs fans in the Saddledome.
