Recap

The Flames got off to a good enough start, killing off an early Rasmus Andersson penalty and working to establish a bit of momentum. That was pretty quickly halted by what we could only describe as drama. A weird collision between Matthew Tkachuk and Mark Scheifele sent Scheifele to the locker room in what looked like serious distress, and not long after, apparently Tkachuk had to answer for that hit, and he and Blake Wheeler fought, both earning five minute penalties.
