The Calgary Flames hosted the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, hoping to make their path to the playoffs a little simpler. Instead, the Flames played a pretty sloppy defensive game and it got away from them fairly spectacularly. They lost 8-3 to Edmonton in a game punctuated by turnovers and a goalie fight.
The Rundown
So, a lot of stuff happened in this game.
Edmonton opened the scoring 31 seconds into the opening period off some nice pressure. Kailer Yamamoto found some quiet space on the ice, wandered in front of the net (alone), took a nice pass from Oscar Klefbom and patiently tucked a puck past David Rittich to make it 1-0 Oilers.
