Well, things started off well. The Calgary Flames were looking for two things this game: to go above .500 for the first time in this young season, and to finally snap a four-game losing streak to the St. Louis Blues. A win would accomplish both of these things, but it would be hard to come by.
Things looked really good just over a minute in, though. Rushing up from their own end, the Flames exhibited a fast, exciting breakout. It ended up with Michael Frolik sending a beautiful cross-ice dish to Dennis Wideman, who had the perfect little chip up to Mason Raymond.
