Oilers 3, Flames 2: Who’s excited for the draft?
The Calgary Flames have been the worst team in the NHL since St. Patrick’s Day.
On April 2, the Flames lost a critical rivalry game against the Edmonton Oilers by a 3-2 score. Despite goals from Michael Stone and Matthew Tkachuk in the first two periods, Calgary allowed Connor McDavid to score the go-ahead goal in the third period and had no answer in the final 13 minutes of regulation time.
The Flames have stumbled to a 2-7-0 record since March 17, not good enough to match even the historically dreadful Buffalo Sabres over that span. To put it mildly: At this rate, these Flames would need all the luck in Ireland to make the playoffs.
