Well, the Flames playoff hopes took a hit tonight as they fell to the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 at the Saddledome. A win could have put the Flames within two points of the fourth place Canadiens, but instead they find themselves six points back with time beginning to run out.
The Flames did themselves no favours with their lack of offence tonight. Calgary could only muster one goal and you could be ok with that if Jake Allen was playing out of his mind, but the Flames only fired 22 shots on goal and never had more that eight shots in any period.
