Post-Game: What's A Battle?

So, Calgary played Edmonton tonight in the latest edition of the Battle of Alberta.

Edmonton came into Calgary without a win. They got a big one at the Scotiabank Saddledome, beating the Flames fairly handily by a 5-2 score. The Flames stayed with their visitors for the first 20-25 minutes or so, but their miscues gradually snow-balled and after a couple quick goals early in the final frame, the Oilers were triumphant. It's the first Oilers victory over Calgary since December 2013.

The Flames are now 1-4-0 on the season, with their only victory being a 4-3 overtime win in Vancouver.
