Having more good games than bad still means that you’ll have bad games. This was one of those relatively rare ones for the Flames.
Feel of the game
On the second of a back-to-back, the Flames got off to an amazing start, and it saw them win the game. On their third game in four nights, the Flames got off to a poor start, continued to play poorly, and by the time they decided to start trying, it was far too late.
It was a pretty sleepy affair for the Flames overall, and David Rittich was probably the only Flame to show up over the course of 60 minutes.
