The Calgary Flames were pretty good for the most part on Tuesday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome. However, as has become tradition this season, their mistakes snowballed on them. Primarily due to a few second period lapses, the Flames lost 5-3 to the Washington Capitals.
The Rundown
The Flames played a pretty smart, structured game in the first period. They didn’t generate a ton of great looks, but they didn’t up too many either. Both the Flames and the Capitals had first period power plays, neither scored. Shots were 15-9 Flames and scoring chances 6-6 in the first period.
