Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. The Flames get behind early only to make a game of it with just enough time left to keep you from calling it a night. Calgary has been outscored 12-6 in first periods thus far in 2021 while outscoring the Scotia Northerners 11-4 in third periods.
It was too little too late last night. The Jets took advantage of the Flames miscues early, expertly clogged up the ice between the blue lines, and were able to hold on for the victory.
Give the Flames credit for finding unique and inventive ways to allow the first goal.
