The Calgary Flames came home on Wednesday night hoping to build off a good game on Monday in Vancouver. Instead, the Flames played a fairly disjointed, sloppy game en route to a fairly one-sided 5-1 loss to the visiting Canucks to end a stretch of four consecutive games against their rival to the west.
The rundown
The Flames got off to a slow start in the first period, with Vancouver hemming them in a bit early. The Flames managed an early breakout, but Dominik Simon turned the puck in the neutral zone and Vancouver came in on a two-on-one.
