First Period
Tonight was the first of a back-to-back, home and home with the Vancouver Canucks, who surprisingly came into the game having won 5 consecutive games since the Flames defeated them back on December 23rd. Brian Elliott got the start in goal for the Flames, on a personal 5 game win streak himself.
The Flames would open the score just 1:18 into the first period.
