The Calgary Flames played a pretty good game on Sunday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. But as has become the tradition lately, their good play was wiped out by a few mistakes coming back to haunt them. The Flames lost 4-2 to the Leafs in the first of back-to-back games against the (Scotia NHL) North Division’s top team.
The rundown
The Flames got out to a bit of a sloppy start and the Leafs punished them for it. Noah Hanifin fanned on a clearing attempt and that led to a turnover. A couple passes later and Morgan Rielly’s point shot beat David Rittich to make it 1-0 Leafs.
