After a strong opening shift by the Flames, Florida would come back up the ice Mike Matheson would beat David Rittich with a long wrister 1:09 in to make it 1-0.
A minute later Ryan Lomberg would start a fight with Michael Haley as he so often does. I’d give the edge to Haley in the fight.
Calgary would take two penalties in the middle portion of the period but the Flames penalty kill would have two solid kills to prevent Florida from extending their lead.
The Flames would get a powerplay of their own and the powerplay would stay hot (yes I just said that).
