A better, but imperfect, game
The Flames continued a string of better games on Thursday, following in the footsteps of strong efforts against San Jose and Philadelphia. They were pretty effective in all areas of the game, though they weren’t perfect.

Definitely in spurts, for sure. I didn’t think we were tight in the second.
