The Calgary Flames played a couple good periods against the Washington Capitals on Saturday afternoon. Their second period, their bad period, almost completely undid all their good work, though. But despite blowing a three goal lead, the Flames managed to beat the Capitals 4-3 in overtime.
The rundown
The Flames were on their heels a bit to open this game, but they gradually got their feet underneath them with a nice penalty kill and that led to some momentum, a penalty call against Washington, and the opening goal.
On the power play, the Flames opted to begin with the second unit.
