Tonight was a big game for the Calgary Flames. If they wanted to make their lives easier over the last few weeks of the season, a win tonight would’ve been nice. Unfortunately the team’s attention to detail, usually something they excel at, was sorely lacking. Bad puck management on the power play combined with some really bad zone exit attempts en route to a 3-1 loss to Nashville at Bridgestone Arena.
THE RUNDOWN
It was a playoff-like atmosphere in Nashville, with lots of board work and good scoring chances at a premium. The Flames carried most of play at even strength, but couldn’t bury anything as Pekka Rinne stood tall.
