Mike Smith posted a shut out in his continued bid to rise above a slow season start. Here are three thoughts on the Flames win.
- Continued dominance of the top line with Gaudreau setting up Lindholm for two beauties.
- Mike Smith once again closing the door with huge saves at crucial moments.
- One of those games where you file under “bad reffing”. A lot of missed slashes, a trip that should’ve ended the game, and last second steam roll of Backlund.
Notes: Backlund left the game with 40 seconds remaining after taking a high hit from Dumba.
