The Calgary Flames were shut out on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas and headed to Glendale, Arizona hoping for a better result. The good news is they scored. The bad news is just about everything else.
The same old habits crept back for the Flames against the Arizona Coyotes on Monday night. They led for precisely 123 seconds. They gave up goals on rough defensive plays. They couldn’t score a power play goal, or generate many chances. They looked every bit a lost and confused team, and they dropped a 5-2 decision to the Coyotes to effectively snuff out their playoff chances.
