Two games the Flames had absolutely no excuse not to win. Two regulation wins in a row. Five of six points on the road trip. Don’t get excited, but some satisfaction is definitely warranted.
Little more exciting than it had to be
The Flames seemed to be cruising with a 1-0 lead. Curtis Lazar’s perfect pass and Matt Stajan’s perfect redirection gave them what should have been some breathing room – only after it became a 2-0 lead, the Senators seemed to really, really want to score all of a sudden, and the game entered a frantic pace that had not been seen in the 50 minutes prior.
