Calgary Flames Post-Game: Stepping on rakes against the Senators
The Calgary Flames hosted the Ottawa Senators at the Saddledome on Thursday night, hosting their first game in over a month. The Flames had their moments, but overall it was the lowly Senators that carried the play throughout the game.
The Flames crashed back to the .500 mark (in terms of pure wins and losses) with a 4-1 loss to Ottawa on Thursday, in a game where they never held the lead.
The rundown
The Flames had some nice speed early, but the Senators got on the board first. Brett Ritchie was attempting to bump a clearing pass out from the boards to Dillon Dube. The puck was intercepted by Alex Formenton and a quick pass later Nick Paul buried it past Jacob Markström to make it 1-0 Ottawa.
