The Saturday evening matchup with the New York Rangers visiting the Calgary Flames at the Saddledome would start with high energy. Matthew Tkachuk would find himself in the penalty box — Flames’ Backlund getting a short-handed chance, the Rangers barely missing the net. The Flames would kill off the penalty in style — Tkachuk getting a chance out of the box with a pass from Lewis, with Hanifin waiting at the doorstep.
The Flames would waste no time, and score on the power-play, with a beautiful sequence of passes — from Lindholm, to Tkachuk, to Sean Monahan for the goal — the players in sync with one another.
