It was a game that had the makings of a comfortable Flames victory after 40 minutes, but with the way everything has gone lately, it wouldn’t be appropriate if the Flames cruised to victory. Calgary used a four goal second period to down the Penguins 5-4 in a chippy but fast paced afternoon affair in Pittsburgh.
The story of the Flames victory was depth scoring, and it began with Andrew Mangiapane being credited with a goal after an Oliver Kylington shot deflected off at least three things on the way in. Pittsburgh equalized late in the 1st with Jake Guentzel deflecting a shot past Mike Smith.
