Post-Game: This One Goes To Eleven

The Calgary Flames battled back from a defensively shaky first period (and a two-goal hole) and carved their names into the franchise record books with a 5-3 victory tonight over the Edmonton Oilers.

The win represents a few big milestones: it's the first win from a home team in the Battle of Alberta this season, it's the first time the Flames have been above. 500 all season, and it's their 11th straight home victory, setting a new franchise record.

THE RUNDOWN

The locals came out of the gates strong and had the Oilers on their heels early, getting out to a 6-1 shot advantage before they crashed back down to Earth in the second half of the period.
