Two weeks ago in Sunrise, the Calgary Flames were like a fire hose against the Florida Panthers: energetic but incredibly unfocused. On Tuesday night in a rematch at the Saddledome, the Flames were much more like we’re used to seeing them: structured, aggressive, and pretty poised.
The Flames got a measure of revenge against the Panthers, beating them 5-1 to snap Calgary’s four game losing skid.
The rundown
The Flames looked very good early and managed to draw a penalty and take advantage. Dillon Dube was tripped up in the neutral zone. On the ensuing power play, the Flames won the draw and moved the puck around quickly.
