The Calgary Flames polished off their preseason schedule on Saturday afternoon with a 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The result camouflages what was actually a pretty solid game for the Flames in a few areas, but their power play and some iffy defensive zone play conspired against them.

The locals got down early, as Anthony Peluso went to the box for tripping and Jujhar Khaira finished off a nice passing play on the rush for the Oilers’ power play to make it 1-0. The Flames penalty kill barely had time to get set up.
