That game had 0 5v5 goals so the two goalies can stand up and bow. Jake Allen had to be sharp, but Markstrom had to be to a point all night as the Habs put the pressure on heavy. There was certainly more emotion from the Flames, but not enough actual pushback from the team in terms of quality play. Many pucks failed to clear the zone tonight as Montreal was able to maintain sustained pressure on Calgary multiple times, especially in the third period.
It’s a Team Game – The Habs out possessed and out chanced the Flames all night long.
