In a night where the Flames really needed a victory after a tough 3-2 loss to Edmonton the night before, they ended up with just a point in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators which dropped their record to 11-12-3.
Jacob Markstrom got the start in the game despite just playing the night before in Edmonton, and while it seemed kind of questionable as he’s still coming back from an injury likely related to overuse, Darryl Sutter and Ryan Huska chose him to start.
It was not Markstrom’s best night as he got beat in the first period on a long shot that may have been slightly deflected, no matter how much the broadcast tried to say it was deflected.
