CHICAGO — Admittedly, it’s not the drought that folks in the Windy City were buzzing about, not with the Chicago Cubs four wins away from their first World Series crown since 1908.
For the Calgary Flames, though, it seemed like close enough to forever since they’d last found the back of the net on the power play.
“Once that starts going … ” Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan had declared after Monday’s morning skate at United Center. “It’s going to help our whole game.”
It sure did.
Sam Bennett and Sean Monahan each scored man-advantage markers as the Flames delivered their best outing of this frustrating fall in Monday’s meeting with the Chicago Blackhawks, and Kris Versteeg made it count with the shootout winner in a 3-2 triumph.
