Earlier this season, the Calgary Flames were utterly embarrassed by the Washington Capitals 6-2 at home. Tonight, roughly a month later, the Flames played a composed, mature game. They let the Capitals back into it a bit in the third, but they played well enough to win.
And thanks to overtime, they did, by a score of 3-2 over the Capitals. The win represents their first points from their current four-game road trip - they've captured two of a possible six points thus far, and improve to 6-11-1 on the season.
