The Calgary Flames played some flat, uninspired hockey on Tuesday night in Boston. They were out-performed by a very good hockey team. On Thursday night in Nashville, they made up for it. The Flames had jump, had pep and scored some timely goals en route to a 4-3 victory over the Predators at Bridgestone Arena.
The Flames close out their six game road trip by capturing eight of a possible 12 points, keeping themselves very much in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race.
The Rundown
The opening frame was pretty even. The Flames took a penalty and killed it off midway through the period, but the Predators kept them hemmed in even after the penalized player returned.
