The Calgary Flames exorcised a personal demon on Saturday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome. In their fourth meeting of the season, in their final game of the season, the Flames finally solved the expansion Vegas Golden Knights. With Vegas’ troops looking like they had their minds on Wednesday’s opening of the playoffs the Flames made some hay, trouncing the Golden Knights 7-1 to send the crowd home happy. (Well, happy with tonight’s result, not happy with the previous 81 games.)
The Rundown
This game was a rarity of sorts, a game the Flames led for virtually the entirety and never trailed.
