The Calgary Flames headed down to Chicago to face the Blackhawks in their second-last makeup game of their many, many COVID postponements on Monday night. The Flames played 30 really good minutes and then 30 “good enough” minutes, as they scored first and then managed to defend reasonably well en route to a 5-2 victory over Chicago.
The rundown
The Flames got on the scoresheet just 22 seconds into the game. Off an offensive zone face-off win, Dillon Dube tipped a Noah Hanifin point shot past Kevin Lankinen to give the Flames an early 1-0 lead.
