The Calgary Flames won on Monday night at the Saddledome. They were playing the National Hockey League’s worst team, the Colorado Avalanche, and handed them their 52nd regulation loss of the season. The Avalanche are bad and the Flames were better than them and won 4-2.
That said, it wasn’t exactly a game where the Flames looked like world-beaters. But they never trailed during the game and beat a team they really should be expected to beat.
THE RUNDOWN
The Flames got on the board early, as former Flame Joe Colborne gave them an early power play.
