The Calgary Flames currently trail the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 in their best-of-seven series, but there’s reason to believe they shouldn’t be counted out.
This isn’t exactly an unfamiliar situation for Flames head coach Darryl Sutter, who’s had to come from behind during prior runs in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and has had success in doing so.
If there’s one coach you want to go to battle with it’s Sutter and that should comfort Flames fans in a series where they’ve looked ordinary over their last two games against Edmonton.
Johnny Gaudreau, Matthew Tkachuk, and Elias Lindholm have combined for 31 points in ten playoff games, but besides this star trio, there haven’t been a lot of bright spots for this Calgary team.
