For the first two games of the season, the Calgary Flames arguably out-played their opponents but didn’t get timely goals or big saves from their goaltender. In Detroit on Thursday night, they got timely goals and big saves and despite being out-played for a big chunk of the game, they beat the Detroit Red Wings by a 3-0 score.
The rundown
The Flames generated some traffic in front of Detroit’s net early on and took advantage of it in the opening period. Midway through the period, Johnny Gaudreau carried the puck behind the Red Wings net.
