The Calgary Flames weren’t particularly good in the first period of Saturday night’s game with the Arizona Coyotes. However, the Flames went to their locker room for the first intermission, came back out, and absolutely demolished the Coyotes for the remainder of the game.
The Flames beat the Coyotes by a 9-1 score.
The rundown
The Flames were pretty flat for the first half of the opening period, and the Coyotes took advantage of a lack of attention to detail to grab an early lead. Jay Beagle skated in on the left wing and flung the puck towards the net-front area, where Nick Ritchie out-maneuvered Noah Hanifin and tipped the puck past Jacob Markstrom to give the Coyotes a 1-0 lead.
