The Calgary Flames played fairly well through two periods against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night, but weren’t amazing. A three goal eruption in the opening three minutes of the third period was enough for them to grab hold of the game for good. They beat the visiting Leafs by a 4-2 score in the Saddledome to run their winning streak to seven games.
The Rundown
The first 20 minutes were pretty back and forth. But midway through the period, a defensive lapse and a nice pass put Toronto up 1-0. The Flames got hemmed in their own end a bit by the Mitch Marner line.
