The Calgary Flames began their four game road trip on Tuesday night with a game against the Chicago Blackhawks. It was the Flames second visit to the United Center in 8 days as the Flames beat the Blackhawks 3-2 in a shootout last time.
The Flames went with the same lineup as they had in previous games meaning Matthew Tkachuk played in his 9th game of the season. Decision time is looming.
1st Period:
Brian Elliott got the start and net and would be faced with the toughest test of the first few minutes when Marian Hossa streaked in down the wing but Elliott would make the save.
