The Calgary Flames were alright in Thursday night’s game with the Florida Panthers. Playing against a team that’s a fair distance from the playoffs, the Flames could never quite find their second gear or bury their chances. They dropped a close one 3-2 to the Panthers in a shootout.
The Rundown
Neither team scored in a sleepy first period. Shots were 10-10 and the Panthers led 9-4 in chances, but neither side looked particularly dangerous.
The second period was very similarly-paced to the first – slow – until the Panthers scored with five minutes remaining in the period.
