The Flames come out and play their best game of the season against the Blues and follow it up with their best game of the season against the Blue Jackets. Maybe “best” isn’t the right word because playing really close hockey against better teams brings more satisfaction, but what Calgary is currently doing is fun as heck. 13-1 in their last 120 minutes, throw in 7 points for Johnny Gaudreau and a Markstrom shutout – the party feels like it’s just getting started.
CF% – 72.55%, SCF% – 76.95%, HDCF% – 86.62%, xGF% – 83.16%
Lets kick things off with an end-to-end Johnny Gaudreau rush where he dangles the defenceman and drops the puck to Lindholm for a tap-in, shall we?
