Last season, the Calgary Flames were 6-5-1 on their second night in back-to-back games. So far this season, they’re 1-0-0.
David Rittich got the nod tonight since Mike Smith started last night and he was excellent yet again. In a great game against the Buffalo Sabres after coming off a great win the night before, the Flames found themselves down a goal in the first period. After pushing and pushing, they finally tied the game late with less than a minute left and won in overtime.
It was a successful two-game road-trip against two Eastern Conference teams.
