The Calgary Flames very nearly committed a robbery in Toronto on Wednesday night. They were largely out-played by the Toronto Maple Leafs for two periods, but they were a goal-mouth scramble away from leaving Toronto with back-to-back shutouts. Instead, Toronto scored late and again in overtime to beat Calgary by a 2-1 score.
The rundown
The opening period was chock full of special teams, carrying over a trend from Monday’s game. The Leafs had three power plays, the Flames just one. The Flames’ penalty kill was sharp, but their power play was so-so. Neither team scored in the first period.
