The Calgary Flames were not good in Saturday night in Vancouver. Well, Jacob Markstrom was, but everyone in front of him probably wants a mulligan. The Flames were out-shot, out-played and out-worked en route to a 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
The rundown
The Flames were on their heels in the first period. They defended reasonably well, but they defended a lot. Jacob Markstrom was very sharp. Shots were 20-4 Canucks and scoring chances 12-9 Canucks in the opening period.
The Flames were still on their heels in the second period. They continued to defend well, but their details were a bit sloppy at times and it eventually led to a Canucks goal.
