Calgary Flames are without David Rittich (G), who is still out as precautionary, nursing his lower body injury. Which means that Mike Smith (G), coming off of a win vs. Detroit, gets his 2nd straight start in back-to-back road games for the Flames.
Jaroslov Halak (G) gets the start for Boston Bruins, as Tuukka Rask (G) sits this one out.
Recap:
1st period action. SOG (11) Flames - (9) Bruins.
The Flames came out with some speed at the start of the game, able to ward off the killer B’s by occupying time in the attack zone.
