It’s wild how the Flames somehow lost a 1-1 game.
Feel of the game
It wasn’t a particularly great outing by either team. The start was incredibly tepid, as though both teams were wary of one another (all the while having to combat with not-great ice conditions). The Oilers found their legs before the Flames did, resulting in Connor McDavid opening the scoring; it was probably good fortune the Flames were only down by a goal, with a ton of time left to make up for it.
And that’s exactly what the Flames started to do in the second period, as they slowly but surely found their game.
