Post-Game: Close, but no cigar against Oilers

The Calgary Flames played pretty well on Friday night in Edmonton. They were the better team for big chunks of the game. But penalties at the wrong times led to power play goals at the wrong time, and that was the difference in a very close 3-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

The rundown

The opening period saw the Flames take awhile to find their rhythm. The Oilers registered nine of the game’s first 10 shots. But after a penalty kill with Rasmus Andersson in the box, the Flames woke up and found their mojo.
