The Calgary Flames and Boston Bruins played the first of two China games last night/this morning in Shenzhen. The Bruins took a 3-0 lead in the first period, before the Flames fought back all night long, eventually tying it with under a minute left while on a 6-on-3 powerplay. Boston would go on to win in the shootout despite the Flames having opportunities to close the door with a goal or a save.
All in all, it’s good to have Flames hockey back, and here are 10 observations from opening night.
