Folks, we have ourselves a series.
After a track meet in Game 1 where the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers both played fairly poorly, we got a Game 2 where the teams were various degrees of good in most game situations. In a game punctuated by a lot of special teams play, with advantages skewed towards the visitors, the Oilers battled to a 5-3 victory over the Flames in Game 2.
This series is tied 1-1 headed back to Edmonton.
The rundown
The Flames opened the scoring three minutes into the opening period.
