Missing their star goaltender for a road game against the NHL’s best team, the Calgary Flames responded with their best game of the season. They were full marks in a 3-0 shutout win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night.
Here are some selected quotes from the post-game media addresses.
Matthew Tkachuk
The Flames scored twice on the power play, with Tkachuk picking up a couple of points on special teams. But Tkachuk pointed to the performance of the seven-for-seven penalty kill as what tilted the balance.
The power play was nice, but at the end of the day what won us the game was that five-on-three kill.
