The Calgary Flames hoped for a bounce-back effort on Saturday night in Penticton after dropping their opening game of the Young Stars Classic tournament on Friday night. While the Flames didn’t get in as much penalty trouble against the Edmonton Oilers as they did in their previous game, their defensive miscues continued to cause issues.
The Flames dropped their second game in as many nights, losing to Edmonton 4-1.
The rundown
The opening period was pretty even, with both teams looking decent and exchanging chances (and goals). Noah Philp – brother of former Flames prospect Luke Philp – took advantage of some stationary defending from the Flames and broke into their zone with speed.
