The Calgary Flames didn’t play their best game on Wednesday night, but they got yet another late offensive outburst in the third period to force overtime. They beat the Philadelphia Flyers in a 6-5 thriller at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
The Rundown
The Flyers came out with some speed, while the Flames looked pretty jumpy. The Flyers had the first seven shots on goal, but Mike Smith was sharp. The Flames killed off a penalty midway through the period, got some momentum, and then got to work.
The Flames generated a lengthy shift in the Flyers end, with Alan Quine, Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk cycling the puck ably.
